PNEUMOCOCCAL (PPV) VACCINATION

Protect Against Pneumonia

Pneumococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia, meningitis, and septicaemia. The Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) is an effective way to protect yourself from these infections, especially if you are in a high-risk group. At FirstContact Pharmacy, we provide safe and professional PPV vaccination services to help strengthen your immunity against pneumococcal infections.

Why Get the PPV Vaccine?

The pneumococcal vaccine provides long-lasting protection against bacterial infections that can cause severe complications. Key benefits include:
✅ Reduces the risk of pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections
✅ Prevents serious illness and hospitalisation
✅ Strengthens immunity, particularly in older adults and vulnerable individuals
✅ One-time vaccination for most people, with additional doses for high-risk groups

Pneumococcal infections can be life-threatening, particularly in older adults and those with weakened immune systems, making vaccination crucial.
