INFLUENZA & PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION VACCINES – THE DUAL SHIELD TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD’S LUNGS

Vaccination against influenza and pneumococcus acts as a powerful dual shield, enhancing immunity and effectively preventing dangerous respiratory diseases for your little one.

Pneumococcus is a bacteria that spreads rapidly through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or even sharing personal items. In healthy individuals, the bacteria can reside silently in the nose and throat without causing illness. However, in young children under 5 – whose immune systems are still developing – pneumococcus can easily attack and cause serious diseases.

The Prevenar 13 pneumococcal vaccine protects children from severe illnesses such as pneumonia, otitis media, sinusitis, meningitis, bloodstream infections, and other dangerous complications.

Influenza viruses are a common cause of acute respiratory infections, particularly prevalent during seasonal transitions or outbreaks. Due to their constant mutation, annual influenza vaccination is essential to protect children from severe complications, including pneumonia, myocarditis, and respiratory failure.

Recommended Timing for Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccines:

1. Pneumococcal Vaccine:

• 3 primary doses, each given at least 4 weeks apart.
• The first dose can be administered from 6 weeks of age.
• A booster dose is recommended at least 6 months after completing the primary series to ensure long-term protection.

2. Influenza Vaccine:

• Can be given from 6 months of age.
• Annual booster shots are recommended, especially before flu season peaks.

Combining flu and pneumococcal vaccinations provides optimal protection, significantly reducing the risk of co-infection with these dangerous respiratory pathogens – particularly vital during complex epidemic seasons.
