A member asked:
Is pcv 13 vaccine all right to be given to adults such as 20 to 49 years old? please answer. thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...but: This is one of many vaccines that can help increase resistance to germ strains represented in the vaccine. That said, vaccines to bacteria tend to have a limited duration of benefit (5-10 yr ??) compared to viral vaccines. As such their use is targeted to populations that are at specific risk, like immune impaired,older adults & young kids. It is not recommended for normal adults your age.
