For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "I had pneumococcal vaccine 1 week ago, and I continue to be tired and weak, fever, chills. I have never felt this awful from a vaccine. Also, I have felt very sore in my muscles and arms even though the injection was in my thigh!!!"

For Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis "I received this vaccine yesterday. I have a partially functioning spleen due to a spleen injury in 2018, so the doctor recommended I get it when it is due. The only side effect I am having is I’m extremely tired. I have been since a few hours after receiving the vaccine. I’m going to get a nap in today."
