Mechanism of actionHow conjugate vaccines workDesigned to deliver robust and lasting immunity1Prevnar 20® is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine1

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines elicit a T cell-dependent immune response and generation of memory B cells, which leads to robust and long-lasting immunity.2,3

Prevnar 13® (Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine [Diphtheria CRM197 Protein]) adult efficacy data in Community-Acquired Pneumonia Immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA) trial had a median duration of follow-up of 3.93 years.1,4

CAPiTA assessed the efficacy of Prevnar 13 against vaccine-type (VT) pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) conducted over ~4 years in the Netherlands.1

INDICATIONS AND SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
  • Prevnar 20® (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in adults 18 years of age and older
  • The indication of Prevnar 20® for the prevention of pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F is approved under accelerated approval based on immune responses as measured by opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assay. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial
  • Prevnar 13® (Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine [Diphtheria CRM197 Protein]) is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F in adults 18 years of age and older
Prevnar 13® Limitations of Use: Prevnar 13® will only help protect against S. pneumoniae serotypes in the vaccine

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
 
  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of Prevnar 20®, Prevnar 13®, or to diphtheria toxoid is a contraindication
  • Safety and immunogenicity data on Prevnar 20® are not available for individuals in immunocompromised groups and vaccination should be considered on an individual basis. Based on experience with pneumococcal vaccines, individuals with altered immunocompetence may have reduced immune responses to Prevnar 20® 
Important Safety Information
  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of Prevnar 20®, Prevnar 13®, or to diphtheria toxoid is a contraindication
  • Safety and immunogenicity data on Prevnar 20® are not available for individuals in immunocompromised groups and vaccination should be considered on an individual basis. Based on experience with pneumococcal vaccines, individuals with altered immunocompetence may have reduced immune responses to Prevnar 20®
  • Immunocompromised individuals or individuals with impaired immune responsiveness due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy may have reduced antibody response to Prevnar 13®
  • For Prevnar 20®, in adults 18 years of age and older, the most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions (>10%) were pain at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and arthralgia. Additionally, injection site swelling was also reported (>10%) in adults 18 through 59 years of age  
  • For Prevnar 13®, in adults 18 years of age and older, the most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions (>5%) were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limitation of arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, decreased appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash
Patients should always ask their healthcare providers for medical advice about adverse events. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of vaccines to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
