PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINATION FOR SENIORS (ABOVE 65 YRS OLD)

Far too often, when a person is admitted into hospital, he becomes seriously ill not from the condition that he is warded for, but a bacteria infection that affects not only his lungs (causing pneumonia) but other organs as well. Sometimes, this can lead to death in vulnerable people, especially the elderly.

Pneumococcal vaccination is now offered to our senior citizens above the age of 65yrs at a highly subsidized rate.

You will be given the Pneumococcal 13 (PCV13) vaccine and a year later, the Pneumococcal 23 (PPSV23) vaccine. Repeat doses and boosters are not needed.

Appointment is not needed but you may book a slot on the National Health Appt System if invited by MOH. If you do, we will help screen to see if you qualify before you come over.

 

Annual Influenza Vaccination is also available and can be taken together with your Pneumococcal Vaccination.
