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 "I was okay until day 2. But woke up with severe pain in my left hand (side of the injection site) on day three. I could not even use my left hand at all, some swelling and severe pain when moving my hand. Also, have back and hip pains. I hope it goes away soon. Tylenol and Flexeril were no help."
