PNEUMOCOCCAL

Pneumococcal vaccines protect against pneumococcal infection, a serious disease that sometimes causes death. 
 

There are two types of pneumococcal vaccines as part of BC’s routine immunization program:

  • The pneumococcal conjugate (PCV 13) vaccine that protects against 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria that are privately funded
  • The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine that protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria that are public funded.

 

Two other pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have recently been approved by Health Canada for infants, children, and adults: 
  • Prevnar®20 (PNEU-C-20). 
  • Vaxneuvance® (PNEU-C-15).
These vaccines are not part of BC’s publicly funded (free) vaccine program and can be purchased at some pharmacies and travel clinics. Speak to your health care provider for more information on these vaccines.
