FAQs – Pneumococcal Vaccine
Is the pneumococcal vaccine safe?
Yes — it’s well-tolerated, with side effects usually limited to mild swelling or soreness at the injection site.
How long does protection last?
One dose of the PPV vaccine usually provides lifelong protection for most adults. Children may need booster doses as part of the PCV schedule.
Can I have the vaccine if I’ve already had pneumonia?
Yes — the vaccine may still offer protection against future infections. We’ll review your history during your consultation.
Can I receive the pneumococcal vaccine with other vaccines (e.g. flu)?
Yes — it’s safe to receive it alongside other routine vaccines, including flu and shingles.
Is this covered by the NHS?
The NHS offers it to specific high-risk groups. However, we provide the vaccine privately for those who are not eligible on the NHS or want faster access.
