Prevnar 13 involves a series of four doses of the vaccine given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and sometime between 12 and 15 months of age. It is available as a suspension for injection that contains parts from 13 different types of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae).

You are therefore advised to be selective about which sections or pages you wish to print. Prevenar 13 contains the polysaccharides from 13 different types of S. pneumoniae (serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F). This has the indirect effect of making it less likely that you will pass on the bacteria to someone else. 0000093594 00000 n In children under five years of age, Prevenar 13 produced a response that was at least as good as Prevenar for six of the seven S. pneumoniae polysaccharides they share in common in the first main study, and for five of the seven in the second. Updates: Subjects who were primed with Prevnar 13 and Synflorix vaccines, administered intramuscularly into the right or left thigh, at 2 and 4 months of age respectively, received a booster dose of Synflorix vaccine, administered intramuscularly into the right or left thigh or in the deltoid, at 12-15 months of age. The fourth study in adults over 65 years of age showed that Prevenar 13 reduced the incidence of pneumonia by almost half: 49 out of 42,240 (around 0.1%) subjects fell ill with pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae in the vaccine group, compared with 90 out of 42,256 (around 0.2%) subjects in the placebo group. 0000094029 00000 n Adults who need this vaccine only get 1 shot. Prevnar 13 is to be administered as a four-dose series at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months of age. This is a summary of the European public assessment report (EPAR) for Prevenar 13.

In both studies, Prevenar 13 was compared with a similar vaccine containing the polysaccharides from 23 different types of S. pneumoniae (23-valent polysaccharide vaccine). If the child is 12 to 23 months old at the time of the first shot, he or she will need 1 booster dose. 0000093729 00000 n Pneumovax sells for about $50 a shot on average, while Prevnar 13 costs $114 on average. In children aged between five and 17 years old, Prevenar 13 produced a response that was at least as good as Prevenar for all seven S. pneumoniae polysaccharides they share in common. If the child is less than 1 year old at the time of the first Prevnar 13 shot, he or she will need 2 booster doses. Which makes it easy to forget that Pfizer’s top-selling product, with $5.8 billion in annual sales, is a vaccine: Prevnar 13. Alternatively, when Prevenar 13 is given as part of a routine immunisation programme, two doses can be given at the ages of two and four months, followed by a booster at 11 to 15 months of age; children aged between seven months and 11 months should first receive two doses with an interval of at least one month followed by a third dose in the second year; Based on this plan, safety information has been included in the summary of product characteristics and the package leaflet for Prevenar 13, including the appropriate precautions to be followed by healthcare professionals and patients. 0000005159 00000 n Pfizer's COVID-19 shot did gangbusters in 2021's first quarter, but in other parts of the company's vaccine business, the pandemic took its toll.

Prevnar 13 is a vaccine that protects against pneumococcal disease (pneumonia).

These polysaccharides have been purified, then ‘conjugated’ (attached) to a carrier to help them to be recognised by the immune system. The vaccine helps protect against the 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria that most commonly cause serious infections in children and adults. The studies compared the immune response for Prevenar 13 with that for Prevenar against the seven polysaccharides that they share in common. In adults and the elderly, the Committee noted that community-acquired pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease may be an important health problem and that the benefit in terms of protection outweighed the risk of adverse reactions. Prevenar 13 is used to protect children aged between six weeks and 17 years against invasive disease, pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and acute otitis media (infection of the middle ear) caused by S. pneumoniae. • If 2 doses of the Pneumovax 23 vaccine have been given in the past year, Prevnar 13 should be given 1 year after the last Pneumovax 23.

Prevenar 13 was compared with Prevenar. All six of the additional polysaccharides in Prevenar 13 produced a response at least as good as the lowest response seen with Prevenar in the first main study. The most common side effects with Prevenar 13 (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) in children are decreased appetite, fever (only very common in children aged 6 weeks to 5 years), irritability, reactions at the site of injection (reddening or hardening of the skin, swelling, pain or tenderness), somnolence (sleepiness) and poor quality sleep. The CHMP noted that in children the immune system’s response to Prevenar 13 was comparable to that of Prevenar, which is already authorised for the protection of children against S. pneumoniae in the EU. Table 1: Vaccination Schedule for Infants and Toddlers Dose a,bDose 1 cDose 2 The vaccination schedule depends on the age of the child and should be based on official recommendations: Prevenar 13 can be used in children who have started vaccination with Prevenar (another vaccine authorised in the European Union for S. pneumoniae, which contains parts of seven of the 13 types of S. pneumoniae included in Prevenar 13). fourth (booster) dose is recommended between 11and15 months of age.

Just look at Prevnar 13, which dropped 20% in the U.S. People who have a severe fever should not receive the vaccine until they have recovered, but they can still be given the vaccine if they have a mild infection such as a cold. Further information on the use of Prevenar 13 in people at increased risk of pneumococcal infections (such as patients with HIV or people who have received a haematopoietic stem cell transplant) and on how to switch from Prevenar to Prevenar 13 can be found in the summary of product characteristics (also part of the EPAR).

When prescribing Prevenar 13, consideration should be given to the risk of invasive disease and pneumonia in the different age groups, other diseases the vaccinees may have and the type of bacteria in the different geographical areas.
