Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pneumonia vaccine?
The Pneumonia (Pneumococcal) vaccine protects against infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. These infections can lead to serious illnesses such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis, which can be life-threatening in vulnerable groups.
Who should get the Pneumonia vaccine?
The vaccine is recommended for:
– Adults aged 65 and over
– People with chronic health conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart or kidney disease
– Individuals with weakened immune systems or who take medications that reduce immunity
– Anyone at increased risk of respiratory infections due to work or travel
Our clinicians will advise whether you need a single dose or booster based on your age, vaccination history, and health status.
How many doses of the Pneumonia vaccine do I need?
Most adults only require one dose of the Pneumonia vaccine for long-term protection. In some cases—such as for people with certain medical conditions—a booster dose may be recommended every few years.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments typically last around 15 minutes, allowing time for a quick assessment and to administer the vaccine safely. You can usually return to normal activities immediately after your visit.
Are there any side effects?
Most people experience no side effects. Some may notice mild redness or soreness where the injection was given, or a slight temperature for a day or two. These symptoms usually settle quickly without treatment.
Can I have the Pneumonia vaccine at the same time as other vaccines?
Yes — the Pneumonia vaccine can safely be given alongside other vaccines, such as the Flu or COVID-19 vaccines. Your clinician will ensure they are administered correctly.
Where can I get the Pneumonia vaccine in Glasgow?
You can receive your Pneumonia vaccination at our MedAssistant clinic in central Glasgow. We offer same-day and next-day appointments, with professional and confidential care from experienced healthcare staff.
