Quoted from Alodokter, the pneumonia vaccine is a vaccine given to protect the body from pneumonia and other infectious diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcal bacteria. The administration of the vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can fight diseases caused by pneumococcal bacterial infections. Well, there are types of pneumonia vaccines, and the administration of these vaccines is adjusted according to age and overall health condition. Here are two pneumonia vaccines based on their needs.

"The dosage and frequency of administration are not much different from the previous variant. The PCV vaccine is a type of pneumonia vaccine that is usually given to children under 2 years of age. This vaccine can also be given to children over 2 years old and adults at risk of pneumococcal infection. The PVC vaccine is capable of protecting children and adults from 13 types of bacteria that cause pneumonia."

"PPV is a type of vaccine given to the elderly, adults, and children over 2 years old who are considered at high risk of pneumococcal infection. The PPV pneumonia vaccine has an effectiveness of about 50–70% in preventing pneumococcal infections and can protect recipients from 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria."

"Besides pneumococcal bacteria, pneumonia and meningitis can also be caused by infection from Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) bacteria. In fact, in some developing countries, including Indonesia, this bacteria is one of the main causes of pneumonia and meningitis. So make sure your little one is vaccinated against pneumonia, okay, Parents? Source: Alodokter"
