Pneumococcal vaccines
Virus infections can reduce your resistance to diseases, which means that it can be more likely to develop bacterial pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine prevents post-infection bacterial pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine is generally recommended to people with chronic lung diseases.
Pneumococcal vaccines are not yet part of the national vaccination program for adults. The matter has been discussed in the government’s budget proposal for 2020. The pneumococcal vaccine is self-funded. Proceed as follows if you want the vaccine:
- Ask the attending physician for a prescription for the vaccine.
- Pick up the medicine from the pharmacy.
- Make an appointment at the health center for vaccination.
