For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "I experienced soreness and redness in a 4-inch area around the injection site that lasted about 10 days. I also experienced some intermittent headaches on one side of my head, some swelling and puffiness under the eye on the same side, fatigue, and no energy. I did not realize this vaccine was so new and would not have received it if I had been informed of this by my provider who recommended it."

For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "Received the Prevnar 20 vaccine yesterday during my physical. Active, 56-year-old female with emphysema (thankfully no symptoms so far). Side effects were pain at the injection site, headache, and fatigue for a day. I am glad this vaccine is available, and it’s absolutely worth it to me, especially since it’s a one-time deal."

"I had my Prevnar 20 shot on 10-17-2024. I had a little bit of a sore arm, fatigue, and headache that all went away after about 36 hours. To me, it was worth the protection getting the shot. Everything in life entails a risk."
