Protection: The pcv vaccine protects against pneumococcal germ which is associated with meningitis. This is an infection of the brain that can cause pain, fever and sometimes seizures. The germ can also cause pus to form in joints in a child. The germ was one of the common causes of ear infections so it can also help reduce that too. Vaccine is not live. Always small chance redness at site and fever (rare)
