Pneumococcus bacteria cause diseases in all age groups, but they are a significant pathogen especially in the elderly and people belonging to risk groups.
The pneumococcal vaccine is especially recommended for people in risk groups, such as those with chronic lung or heart disease or diabetes.
The vaccine is given as a single dose. Based on current knowledge, no booster dose is needed. The vaccine can be administered at any time of the year.
