Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) risk groups

Some adults have an increased risk for IPD and its serious, sometimes life-threatening complications1,2

This includes adults aged 18-64 with the following medical conditions or other risk factors2,a

Living with HIV

~17x risk for IPD

Chronic liver disease

~9x risk for IPD

Chronic lung disease

~10x risk for IPD

Other immunocompromising
conditions

~9x risk for IPD

Increased alcohol consumption

~8x risk for IPD

Smoking

~5x risk for IPD

Asthma

~4x risk for IPD

Chronic heart disease

~4x risk for IPD

Diabetes mellitus

~4x risk for IPD

Additionally, healthy adults aged ≥65 have ~3x greater risk for IPD2,a

aRetrospective cohort study using data from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2010, from 3 large integrated health care claims repositories, representing >35 million insured adults annually. Risk for IPD among healthy adults aged ≥65 years was compared with healthy adults aged 18–64 years; risk for IPD among adults 18–64 years with certain underlying conditions or other risk factors was compared with age-matched healthy counterparts.

HIV, human immunodeficiency virus.

Indications

Indication for VAXNEUVANCE™ (Pneumococcal 15-valent Conjugate Vaccine)

VAXNEUVANCE is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in individuals 6 weeks of age and older.

Indication for PNEUMOVAX®23 (Pneumococcal Vaccine Polyvalent)

PNEUMOVAX 23 is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumococcal disease caused by the 23 serotypes contained in the vaccine (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19F, 19A, 20, 22F, 23F, and 33F).

 

PNEUMOVAX 23 is approved for use in persons 50 years of age or older and persons aged ≥2 years who are at increased risk for pneumococcal disease.

 

PNEUMOVAX 23 will not prevent disease caused by capsular types of pneumococcus other than those contained in the vaccine.

Select Safety Information for VAXNEUVANCE

Do not administer VAXNEUVANCE to individuals with a severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of VAXNEUVANCE or to diphtheria toxoid.

 

Some individuals with altered immunocompetence, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a reduced immune response to VAXNEUVANCE.

 

The most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions in individuals 18 through 49 years of age were: injection-site pain (75.8%), fatigue (34.3%), myalgia (28.8%), headache (26.5%), injection-site swelling (21.7%), injection-site erythema (15.1%), and arthralgia (12.7%).

 

The most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions in individuals 50 years of age and older were: injection-site pain (66.8%), myalgia (26.9%), fatigue (21.5%), headache (18.9%), injection-site swelling (15.4%), injection-site erythema (10.9%), and arthralgia (7.7%).

 

Vaccination with VAXNEUVANCE may not protect all vaccine recipients.

 

Before administering VAXNEUVANCE, please read the accompanying Prescribing Information. The Patient Information also is available.

Select Safety Information for PNEUMOVAX 23

Do not administer PNEUMOVAX 23 to individuals with a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to any component of the vaccine.

 

Defer vaccination with PNEUMOVAX 23 in persons with moderate or severe acute illness.

 

Use caution and appropriate care in administering PNEUMOVAX 23 to individuals with severely compromised cardiovascular and/or pulmonary function in whom a systemic reaction would pose a significant risk.

 

Available human data from clinical trials of PNEUMOVAX 23 in pregnancy have not established the presence or absence of a vaccine-associated risk.

 

Since elderly individuals may not tolerate medical interventions as well as younger individuals, a higher frequency and/or a greater severity of reactions in some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

 

Persons who are immunocompromised, including persons receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to PNEUMOVAX 23.

 

PNEUMOVAX 23 may not be effective in preventing pneumococcal meningitis in patients who have chronic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage resulting from congenital lesions, skull fractures, or neurosurgical procedures.

 

The most common adverse reactions, reported in >10% of subjects vaccinated with PNEUMOVAX 23 for the first time in a clinical trial, were: injection-site pain/soreness/tenderness, injection-site swelling/induration, headache, injection-site erythema, asthenia and fatigue, and myalgia.

 

For subjects aged 65 years or older in a clinical study, systemic adverse reactions which were determined by the investigator to be vaccine-related were higher following revaccination than following initial vaccination.

 

Vaccination with PNEUMOVAX 23 may not offer 100% protection from pneumococcal infection.

 

Before administering PNEUMOVAX 23, please read the accompanying Prescribing Information. The Patient Information also is available.
