"A little hesitant, but at 64, the doctor reminded me I should get this shot and another next year. Having persistent asthma, I knew I should and had put it off for other shots like COVID, shingles, and flu. The doctor was pretty reassuring and experienced. Really, I’ve only had a longer local reaction, so a little soreness in the shoulder for about 4 days, but not much worse than a flu shot, to be honest. A little more fatigued than normal, but overall fine."

"Three days later, I was put in ICU with double pneumonia. They say you can't get it from the vaccine, but I will never take it again."

"Received Prevnar 13 a week ago. Soreness, itchiness, redness, warmth, all felt at the injection site up to this time. No clue when it will be gone. What a bad experience with this vaccine!"
