Certain conditions like asthma or diabetes may put your child at higher risk for IPD

content


As a parent, you do everything you can to help protect your child. That includes following the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about getting vaccinated.

If your 2- to 18-year-old has certain underlying medical conditions (UMCs), like moderate or severe persistent asthma, diabetes, chronic heart disease, and sickle cell disease,* an additional dose of PREVNAR 20 may help reduce their risk for a potentially serious disease: invasive pneumococcal disease (in-vay-siv noo-mo-ca-cal disease), or IPD.

IPD is a group of serious illnesses caused by pneumococcal bacteria, which can spread through cough or close contact. In rare cases, IPD might lead to long-term effects, including brain damage or even death.

disclaimer
*For eligible children who have not received 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) as part of their 4-dose series. See below for full list of UMCs and CDC vaccination recommendations.

PREVNAR 20 is considered a preventive care service and may be available at no charge.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA)|| requires new health insurance plans to cover preventive care services.

  • Patients who visit a doctor who is a part of their health plan will not pay a deductible, copayment, or coinsurance cost.


If you do not have insurance or are enrolled in Medicaid, the Vaccines for Children (VFC)|| program may be able to help.

  • The VFC program is a program paid for by the government that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because they are not able to pay.
  • The vaccines are given for free. But there might be other costs, such as payment for the visit or other services.
