PCV 15 Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine (Dual Protection For Elderly)

· Those in Bangkok looking to protect against flu and pneumonia at once.
· Those who want to reduce clinic visits for multiple vaccines.
· Those who want to prevent severe respiratory infections.
· Those who wish to simplify their yearly immunization routine.
· Those who wish to follow CDC vaccine guidelines.

The combined administration of PCV 15 (Vaxneuvance) and the seasonal influenza vaccine is a CDC-recommended immunization strategy for older adults. PCV 15 is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine designed to protect against 15 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. When paired with the annual flu vaccine – particularly high-dose or adjuvanted formulations for seniors – it offers broader protection against two major respiratory pathogens.

This coadministration approach helps streamline preventive care, reduces the need for multiple appointments, and supports stronger immunization compliance in older populations. The benefits include enhanced convenience, efficient protection, and alignment with national vaccination guidelines for adults aged 50 years and older.

PCV 15 Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and respond to different infectious agents. PCV 15 uses a conjugated protein structure to produce a robust and long-lasting immune response against 15 pneumococcal strains. The influenza vaccine, depending on the formulation, introduces inactivated or adjuvanted viral components to help the body build immunity against the most common flu strains for the season.

When given together during the same visit, each vaccine is administered using a separate syringe and injected into different sites – usually one in each arm – to reduce the chance of local reactions. Co-administration is proven to be safe and effective, with side effects typically mild and short-lived, making it a practical option for older adults.
