Pneumococcal (PPV) Vaccination

The pneumococcal vaccine protects against serious and potentially fatal infections. It is also known as the pneumonia vaccine.

Pneumococcal infections are caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae and can lead to pneumonia, blood poisoning (sepsis) and meningitis.

At their worst, they can cause permanent brain damage, or even kill.

The price of the vaccine varies depending on which version is chosen – your pharmacist will explain the difference and which is most suitable for you.

If you are 65 or over, you will be entitled to an NHS funded pneumonia vaccine through your GP.

Price (per person) £40-100
Duration (minutes) 15
