Safety Information
Ask your child's health care provider about the risks and benefits of Prevnar® and if Prevnar® is right for your child.
In clinical studies, the most frequently reported adverse events included injection site reactions, fever
(
38ºC/100.4ºF), irritability, drowsiness, restless sleep, decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash.
Risks are associated with all vaccines, including Prevnar®. Hypersensitivity to any vaccine component, including diphtheria toxoid, is a contraindication to its use. Prevnar® does not protect 100% of children vaccinated. Immunization with Prevnar® does not substitute for routine diphtheria immunization.
Please see Prescribing Information.
