Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs the pneumococcal vaccine in Malaysia?▼
Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for all adults aged 65 and above, adults under 65 with chronic conditions (diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease, kidney disease, liver disease), immunocompromised individuals (on steroids, chemotherapy, post-splenectomy), and smokers. Children also receive it as part of routine immunisation. Please call for current pricing.
What is the difference between PCV13 and PPSV23 pneumococcal vaccines?▼
PCV13 (conjugate vaccine) covers 13 pneumococcal strains and produces a stronger immune response — recommended as the first vaccine for adults needing pneumococcal protection. PPSV23 covers 23 strains and is often given 1 year after PCV13 for broader coverage. Our doctors will advise on the correct sequence based on your age and health status.
How often does the pneumococcal vaccine need to be repeated?▼
Most healthy adults over 65 need the full series only once. However, some immunocompromised individuals or those with certain medical conditions may need a repeat PPSV23 after 5 years. Our doctors will advise on your specific revaccination needs based on your medical history and risk factors.
