WHY VACCINATE

About the Pneumococcal Vaccine

A single jab, with protection that can run for years

One Dose for Most Adults

One Jab Does the Job

This vaccine targets Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacteria behind pneumonia and other serious infections. It's a single injection in the upper arm, and for most adults that's the whole story — though a second dose is sometimes advised for those at higher risk. Protection typically runs for years.

  • Just the One Dose

    No course to finish and no follow-up appointment for most adults.

  • Matters Most From 65

    Worth having for adults 65+ and anyone with certain chronic conditions.

  • Pair It With Your Flu Jab

    Book both at once and save yourself a second trip.

PNEUMONIA FAQs

Common Questions

Some people qualify depending on their circumstances — worth asking your GP practice about that route. Or book with us for a straightforward private appointment, no referral needed.

Usually not — one dose covers most adults. If you're at higher risk, your pharmacist might suggest a second, and they'll talk you through why.

Yes — same appointment, different arms if you'd rather keep them separate.

Often many years from one dose. Your pharmacist will flag it if your circumstances ever call for a repeat.

Usually just soreness, redness or swelling where the needle went in, sometimes a mild fever, tiredness or headache for a day or two. Serious reactions are very rare.
