pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (adsorbed)

Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Vaxneuvance is a vaccine used to protect against three types of infections caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae):

  • acute otitis media (ear infection), in children aged from 6 weeks to less than 18 years
  • pneumonia (infection of the lungs), in adults and children from 6 weeks of age;
  • invasive disease in adults and children from 6 weeks of age. (Invasive disease occurs when the bacterium spreads through the body, causing conditions such as septicaemia (blood infection) and meningitis (infection of the membranes around the brain and spine)).

Vaxneuvance contains parts from 15 different types of the S. pneumoniae bacterium. It also contains an adjuvant, a substance containing aluminium, to stimulate a better immune response.
