If it's not the last: If it's her last Prevnar shot, meaning she has finished the series, then a couple of drops makes no difference in the grand scheme of life. Series is usually 4 shots, but fewer if a patient has missed earlier shots. Only young kids or immunosuppressed kids get Prevnar. Beyond that, Prevnar returns for one dose around age 65 years. If she is due for more Prevnar shots, look for a nonshaking nurse.
