JP Partners Medical 15-valent Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (1 dose)

Pneumonia is the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong, with a mortality rate of up to 30-47% for infections caused by serotype 3 pneumococcus!

Pneumococcus can cause various diseases, including otitis media and pneumonia, as well as invasive pneumococcal diseases such as meningitis when it invades the brain, or sepsis and bacteremia when it invades the blood. These diseases can be severe and even fatal, with serotype 3 being considered the number one killer of invasive pneumococcal disease. From 2016 to 2020, nearly 70% of invasive pneumonia diseases were caused by serotype 3 among the group of infants and children in Hong Kong.

There are over 100 serotypes of pneumococcus, among which serotype 3 poses the greatest threat! Regardless of age, most severe and hospitalized cases of pneumococcal infections are due to serotype 3. The new generation pneumococcal 15-valent conjugate vaccine has been approved for use by the US FDA and the EU, and is widely used in European and American countries such as the US, the UK and Canada, as well as Australia.
