There are several vaccines available that help prevent pneumonia:
Pneumococcal vaccines: These include the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13/Prevnar 13) and the Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23/Pneumovax 23), which protect against Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common cause of bacterial pneumonia. Influenza vaccine: Influenza can lead to pneumonia, so the annual flu vaccine is a crucial preventive measure. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine: This vaccine protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b, a cause of pneumonia in children.
