Other health factors can increase your risk.
Like smoking. Or certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, generalized malignancy, or multiple myeloma. Radiation and chemotherapy can, too. These health conditions increase your risk for pneumococcal pneumonia compared with adults without these risk factors.
One vaccine. One dose. One visit.
Pfizer is a pioneer in the development of respiratory vaccines and has over a 10-year history of protecting adults against pneumococcal pneumonia.
If you've already been vaccinated with another pneumococcal vaccine like PCV13 or PCV15, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are eligible for Prevnar 20®.
PCV13=13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV15=15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
