A member asked:
I'm allergic pneumovax, would i prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) 13?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general, No: I matters what the details were of your allergy to Pneumovax, but generally if you had a severe reaction to the Pneumovax, most doctors would not recommend that you have the Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) 13. Perhaps you could give more complete details of your allergy to your present phsycian and therefor get his/hre advice on the matter.
