Calling this "pneumonia vaccine" could be misleading

The so-called "pneumonia vaccine" actually are pneumococcal vaccine. It is a vaccine against infection of bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia. It could cause pneumonia, otitis, sinusitis, meningitis FROM THAT BACTERIA.

 

The vaccine does not prevent other causes of pneumonia.

 

Hand hygiene is still important.

today I went to mahidol travel clinic for a first time pneumonia. I was refused because I am below 65 and don't have underlying.

So I went for MMR for 550b, a booster to one which i probably had a child.

They were insisting on flu, also offering hep A and japanese ence. I have refused.

Does anybody know clinic in bangkok where is I can get Pneumococcal vaccine 13 Prevnar?

At mahidol it goes for 2700b
