Side effects and contraindications
The most common side effects are pain and redness in the injection site, malaise, fever, irritability and headache.
Vaccination must be postponed in individuals with a high fever. It is to be avoided if severe allergic reactions to the vaccine or any of its components have occurred in the past. A case of invasive pneumococcal disease (in which the bacterium penetrated sterile environments such as blood or spinal fluid) in the past is not a contraindication. If pregnant or breast-feeding, it is important to speak to a medical specialist to assess if vaccination should be postponed.
