For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "My second pneumonia shot after 5 years. Pain and swelling at the injection site. Sore arm. Pain all the way to my neck and ear. Nerves feeling on edge. Feeling really cold, chills and hot alternatively. Nausea. I think those are all to be expected after this powerful shot. Be strong, it's worth it not to be hospitalized in the future. I had an even stronger reaction last time. It truly feels like death is near. But really worth not going into the hospital."

For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "Just got this injection and so far, my arm is sore, I can't lift it due to the pain. I also have a dry cough and tightness in my chest, like the flu, cold chills, no energy, tiredness, and I feel stiff. However, I've also got arthritis, COPD, and other problems too, yet this is intensely concerning. If it works and no more major problems, then I'll continue it."

For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "Horrible! I'd rather have pneumonia again! Severe body ache, chills, sweats, insomnia, headache, vomiting, and fever. If I knew how horrible the shot was, I would have never taken it."
