    Pneumococcal vaccines

    Pneumococcal disease can cause serious infections in the lungs (pneumonia), the bloodstream (bacteremia), and the lining of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).

    Two vaccines help prevent pneumococcal disease:

    • Pneumoconjugate 13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine)
    • Pneumococcal 23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine)

    Vaccination is indicated in the following cases:

    • Active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in adults 65 years of age and older.

    Scheme type:

    • *Two pneumococcal vaccines are recommended for all adults 65 years of age or older.

    *One dose of Pneumococcal 13 vaccine should be given first, followed by one dose of Pneumococcal 23 vaccine, depending on your age and health.

    Rabies

    Human rabies is a viral disease transmitted by the bite of an infected animal. It is characterized by acute encephalomyelitis (an aggressive response of the immune system that destroys the myelin layer of the nerves and alters its function at the level of the brain or spinal cord).

    Vaccination is indicated in the following cases:

    • Prevention of rabies in subjects exposed to risk of contamination. It is recommended for certain international travelers, based on the occurrence of animal rabies in the destination country.

    Scheme type:
    There are two types.
    1. Pre-exposure scheme, consists of three doses of rabies vaccine:

    • First dose, on the chosen date.
    • Second dose 7 days after the first dose.
    • Third dose 28 days after the first dose.

    2. Post-exposure scheme, people not vaccinated against rabies, consists of five doses of rabies vaccine.

    • First dose, on the date indicated.
    • Second dose 3 days after the first dose.
    • Third dose 7 days after the first dose.
    • Fourth dose 14 days after the first dose.
    • Fifth dose 28 days after the first dose.

    * If the individual continues to be at risk of exposure to the disease, revaccination should be considered.

    Anti-Herpes Zoster

    Herpes zoster is a painful, burning rash. It usually appears on one part of the body and can last for several weeks. It can cause long-lasting severe pain and scarring. Bacterial skin infections, weakness, muscle paralysis, hearing or vision loss may occur less frequently. Herpes zoster is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have had chickenpox, the virus that caused it remains in the body of nerve cells. Sometimes after many years, the virus becomes active again and causes herpes zoster.

    Vaccination is indicated in the following cases:

    • Immunization of patients from 50 years of age for the prevention of herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), reduce pain associated with acute or chronic herpes zoster.

    Scheme type:

    • Single dose.
