For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "Prevnar 20 vaccine sent me to the ER with extreme nausea and dehydration, and a significant hospital bill will be coming! I was not warned of the possible impact, and 6 days later am still unable to eat anything comfortably. My stomach is still “rolling” and upset. Shame on a lack of WARNING that this drug can cause major side effects."

For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "I was given Prevnar 20 three days ago. I am still a bit sore at the injection site, it doesn't bother me. Since getting the vaccination, I have had an intermittent churning feeling and cramps in my stomach, nausea every morning, and diarrhea throughout the day, every day. It's very important that I am vaccinated against pneumonia since I've had it about 8 times in my life, so I am okay with the side effects. I'm hoping that they dissipate soon."

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."
