Can you get Prevnar and Tdap together?

Influenza vaccine and Td (or Tdap) may be given at the same time or at any time before or after a dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. The only time you have to wait is when two LIVE vaccines are not given at the same visit; then you need to wait at least 4 weeks to give the second live vaccine.

What kind of vaccine is PCV13?

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (called PCV13) protects against 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria. PCV13 is routinely given to children at 2, 4, 6, and 12–15 months of age. It is also recommended for children and adults 2 to 64 years of age with certain health conditions, and for all adults 65 years of age and older.

Why is PCV13 no longer recommended?

PCV13 vaccination is no longer routinely recommended for all adults aged ≥65 years….

Can Tdap be given with other vaccines?

Administration with Other Vaccines There are no contraindications to the co-administration of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines. You may administer DTaP, DT, Td, and Tdap with other indicated vaccines during the same visit.

What is the appropriate protocol for administering multiple vaccines?

If multiple vaccines are administered at a single visit, administer each injection in a different injection site. For infants and younger children receiving more than two injections in a single limb, the thigh is the preferred site because of the greater muscle mass.

Is PCV13 live or inactivated?

Both PPSV23 and PCV13 are inactivated vaccines containing only a portion of the bacteria. The vaccines cannot cause pneumococcal disease.

Is the pneumococcal vaccine the flu shot?

If you get a flu shot, you may think you don’t need a pneumonia shot. However, this is not true. Pneumococcal vaccines (known by most people as pneumonia shots) protect against strains of a bacteria, streptococcus pneumonaie.

Is PCV13 still recommended?

PCV13. PCV13 vaccination is no longer routinely recommended for all adults age >65 years. Instead, shared clinical decision-making for PCV13 use is recommended for persons age >65 years who do not have an immunocompromising condition, CSF leak, or cochlear implant and who have not previously received PCV13.

Does the CDC recommend Prevnar 13?

CDC recommends PCV13 vaccination for children 2 through 4 years old who are unvaccinated or received an incomplete PCV13 series.

Which vaccines can be administered together?

Examples of combination vaccines are: DTap (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis), trivalent IPV (three strains of inactivated polio vaccine), MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), DTap-Hib, and Hib-Hep B. Often, more than one shot will be given during the same doctor’s visit, usually in separate limbs (e.g. one in each arm).

Is it bad to get two Tdap shots?

Answer: Getting a tetanus dose early is not harmful. However, booster doses of tetanus-containing vaccines given too frequently may cause an increased local reaction. Your immunizing health care provider can make a recommendation for you.
