PCV 13 Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine (Protect Elderly Health With Double Vaccine Protection)

· Those in Bangkok looking to protect against pneumonia and flu complications.
· Those who want to reduce hospital risks during flu season.
· Those who want to follow CDC adult vaccine recommendations.
· Those who wish to strengthen immunity due to age.
· Those who wish to get a convenient, combined vaccination protection.

PCV 13 Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine protects against 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria, which can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. The influenza vaccine helps the body build immunity against seasonal flu viruses.

For older adults, both diseases can lead to severe complications, especially when chronic health conditions are present. These vaccines are commonly recommended together to reduce the risk of life-threatening illness and hospitalization. Getting both offers broader, long-lasting protection for vulnerable populations.

PCV 13 Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine is a conjugate vaccine that links bacterial sugars to a protein, helping the immune system recognize and remember the bacteria. The influenza vaccine, particularly the high-dose version for seniors, includes inactivated flu virus components that trigger an immune response against circulating strains.

Both are delivered by intramuscular injection – each in a different arm or location to prevent local site reaction. The vaccines are safe to administer during the same visit, streamlining the immunization process.
