The pneumococcal vaccine protects against serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. There are two main types: PCV13 or PCV15, which covers 13 or 15 strains and is given to infants, young children, and certain adults, and PPSV23, covering 23 strains and recommended for adults aged 65 and older and those with specific health conditions. Both vaccines boost the immune system to recognize and combat the bacteria, significantly lowering the risk of severe infections and contributing to overall public health by reducing disease prevalence and complications.
