Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) – Essential Protection for Adults
The Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) is designed to protect against serious pneumococcal infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. Unlike the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV), which is mainly for infants and young children, PPV is recommended for adults and those at higher risk of complications.
At Chelsfield Pharmacy in Orpington, we offer PPV vaccination services to help safeguard your health. Our expert team ensures a professional and comfortable vaccination experience, providing protection against life-threatening pneumococcal diseases.
Who Needs the PPV Vaccine?
Why is the PPV Vaccine Important?
The Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) helps protect against serious pneumococcal infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. It is especially crucial for adults over 65, individuals with chronic conditions, and those with weakened immune systems, reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation, and complications.
Prevents Severe Infections – The vaccine lowers the risk of serious illnesses such as pneumonia and meningitis.
Protects High-Risk Groups – Older adults and people with chronic health conditions benefit from additional protection.
Reduces Hospitalisations – By preventing pneumococcal disease, the vaccine helps reduce hospital admissions and complications.
