Recommendation of 23-price pneumonia vaccine vaccination for key population.
With the aggravation of population aging, the number of elderly people has greatly increased, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed pneumococcal diseases as diseases that need to be prevented by vaccines with "extremely high priority".
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common pathogen of lung infection worldwide. WHO estimates that at least 1.6 million people die from Streptococcus pneumoniae infection every year. So, what is Streptococcus pneumoniae? How to inoculate pneumonia vaccine? Which groups are vaccinated free of charge? Let’s take a look together ~
What is Streptococcus pneumoniae?
Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a common pathogen of lung infection worldwide. When the human body’s resistance declines, it can invade different parts and cause many infections, such as meningitis, bacteremia, otitis media, sinusitis, etc., which is the main pathogen leading to community-acquired pneumonia.
Vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine can effectively prevent diseases caused by 23 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae covered by it.

If you never get sick, is it necessary to get this vaccine?
