Immunization Assignment

Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate (PCV13)

Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate (PCV13) is a vaccine used for the prevention of

pneumonia caused by 13 different strands of pneumococcus (IBM Micromedex, 2020b). PCV13

has the trade name of Prevnar-13, and it is considered to be a conjugate vaccine. Meaning that

they are made up of two different components or fragments of the bacteria (USDHHS, 2020). It

is contraindicated with those who have previously had an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to

Prevnar (IBM Micromedex, 2020b). In addition, if someone has had an adverse reaction to or

any diphtheria-toxoid–containing vaccine), including yeast (CDC, 2019). The administration

should be deferred in patients who already have pneumonia, unless it is determined by the

provider that the benefits outweigh the risks (IBM Micromedex, 2020b).

Common side effects include, erythema at the injection site, fatigue, joint pain, and

decreased sleep (IBM Micromedex, 2020b). Serious adverse effects can include, potential for

seizures, gastroenteritis, or pneumonia development (IBM Micromedex, 2020b). The minimum

age that a patient can start to receive this vaccine is 2 months of age (CDC, 2019). The

guidelines recommend that children receive a series of 4 doses, at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months

and 12-15 months (CDC, 2019). Special situations when patients are to receive Prevnar-13 are;

adults of 19-64 years of age, who are immunocompromised, a one-time dose is recommended.

Lastly, for adults who are 65 years or older and if based clinical-shared decision is made with the

patient’s provider, a one-time dosage can also be recommended (CDC, 2019).
