What is PREVNAR 20?

PREVNAR 20, is a pneumococcal vaccine, that is administered in adults as just one dose* into the arm. Some individuals may require more than one dose.

How does it work?

Vaccines teach our bodies to recognize and respond to viruses and bacteria by making products called antibodies that help fight the disease. Our immune system can remember and fight them if they attack in the future.

PREVNAR 20 helps your body make its own antibodies to help protect you against 20 types of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Help protect yourself against Streptococcus pneumoniae with just one dose* of PREVNAR 20. Some individuals may require more than one dose.

What does it cover?

PREVNAR 20 provides protection against 20 types of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. 

In adults, it is used to help prevent diseases such as pneumonia, bacteremic pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis caused by serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F.
 
PREVNAR 20 should not be mistaken for PREVNAR 13 because they are not the same vaccine.  
 
PREVNAR 13 provides protection against 13 types of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is indicated for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease caused by serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F. As with any vaccine, PREVNAR 13 will not protect 100% of those who receive the vaccine.
