Immunizations are an important part of becoming a healthy adult. The process in

which a person is made resistant to infectious diseases and illness is through immunizations or

vaccines. Vaccines are known to protect people from diseases like Diphtheria, Tetanus, and

Pertussis (DTaP) and pneumococcal disease. This paper will highlight the name of 2 diseases

and their respected vaccines, along with important information regarding those vaccines.


PPSV23


Pneumococcal disease is a pneumococcal infection caused by Streptococcus

pneumoniae bacteria. The preventable vaccination for this bacterium is the Pneumococcal 23-

valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV). Its trade name is Pneumovax 23. This vaccine is an

inactivated type and is contraindicated in persons with previous history of anaphylactic or severe

allergic reaction to any component of the pneumococcal vaccine, have a cochlear implant, or

those with a chronic cerebrospinal fluid leak (Micromedex, 2020). Precautions include patients

who are immunocompromised (may not have expected antibody response) (Micromedex, 2020).

Patients who have an acute illness (vaccination should be deferred) (CDC, 2020). Patients who

have a severe cardiovascular or respiratory dysfunction (a systemic reaction could occur)

(Micromedex, 2020).When also giving the Zostavax® vaccine, these vaccines should be given

separately (at least 4 weeks apart) to avoid a reduced immune response to the Zoster vaccine

(CDC, 2020). Adverse drug reactions that can occur are erythema and/or tenderness at injection

site, myalgia, and fatigue. The minimum age to receive vaccine is 2 years old and older (ACIP,

2020). All patients between 2 years old and 65 years old receive a one-time dose of 0.5 ml

intramuscularly or subcutaneously (ACIP, 2020). Special situations include patients who have

never received any pneumococcal vaccines should first be administered a dose of PCV13. After
