An Essential Parameters of Pneumococcal Vaccine Include Objectives, Mechanism of Action, Administration, Adverse Effects and Contraindications
Abstract
A major advancement in the treatment and prevention of a common and occasionally fatal disease process has been the development of pneumococcal vaccinations. The recommendations for pneumococcal conjugate vaccines vary based on the patient population. Both vaccination types have been shown to produce durable antibodies in individuals with weakened immune systems, but combination vaccines have also been shown to have some further advantages. This exercise describes the mechanism of action of pneumococcal vaccines, as well as delivery techniques, formulations, adverse event profiles, eligible patient demographics, and monitoring. It also emphasizes the importance of the interprofessional team in managing these patients.
