Description
In today's fast-paced urban environment, irregular lifestyles, environmental pollution, chronic stress, and unhealthy habits can significantly compromise our immune system, with children and the elderly being particularly vulnerable to serious respiratory health challenges. Pneumococcal infections represent a critical health risk that can progress from mild symptoms like sinusitis to life-threatening conditions such as septicemia and meningitis. Our comprehensive 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine offers advanced medical prevention, aligning with Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection recommendations to protect high-risk individuals aged 2 and above, as well as seniors over 65. Take a proactive step towards safeguarding your health and the well-being of your loved ones - book your vaccination today!
Pneumococcal infection refers to disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). It usually only causes symptoms such as sinusitis and otitis media, but it can also cause serious and even fatal invasive pneumococcal diseases such as septicemia, sepsis and meningitis. Children and the elderly usually have a more serious condition when they suffer from invasive pneumococcal diseases. Clinical studies have shown that 23 Vaccine can prevent invasive pneumococcal disease.
Hazards of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease
Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) occurs when pneumococcus invades the bloodstream or cerebrospinal fluid, causing acute infections. Common symptoms include high fever, breathing difficulties, neck stiffness, and confusion, with severe cases potentially leading to hearing loss or death. Clinical studies indicate that Hong Kong’s pneumonia mortality rate is elevated, particularly among seniors aged 65 and above and children under 5, who are high-risk groups. Early prevention is critical, and appropriate vaccination can significantly reduce infection risks.
Preventive Efficacy of the 23-Valent Vaccine
Clinical studies demonstrate that the 23-Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vPPV) effectively prevents invasive pneumococcal disease, covering 23 common serotypes (e.g., 1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F), which account for 85%-90% of local prevalent strains. This vaccine is especially suitable for seniors and high-risk individuals, stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies and reducing the incidence of pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia. Compared to 13-valent or 15-valent vaccines, the 23-valent vaccine offers broader protection, ideal for those needing long-term defense.
Who Should Receive the 23-Valent Vaccine?
- Seniors Aged 65 and Above: Immune decline with age increases susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease.
- Chronic Disease Patients: Individuals with heart disease, diabetes, or lung conditions face higher infection risks.
- Immunocompromised Individuals: Includes those without a spleen, cancer patients, or those on immunosuppressive therapy.
- Families with Young Children or Seniors: Proactive vaccination protects the entire household’s health.
