Prayers for you

Thank you for responses

However, I was referring to the section under "resources and treatments".....the vaccine description is not given.
Have a good day!

If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with predniSONE, you should let your doctor know before receiving pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine. Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on predniSONE, you may have a reduced response to the vaccine. In some situations, your doctor may want to delay vaccination to give your body time to recover from the effects of predniSONE therapy. If you have recently been vaccinated with pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine, your doctor may choose to postpone treatment with predniSONE for a couple of weeks. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

I am on 10mg, Prednisone Daily and there was no drama..

"What is pneumococcal pneumonia?

Pneumococcal vaccine-preventable pneumonia is a lung disease caused by streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria that can infect the upper respiratory tract and can spread to the blood, lungs, middle ear or nervous system. Pneumonia is a leading cause of vaccine-preventable illness and death in the United States. Pneumococcal pneumonia mainly causes illnesses in children younger than 2 years of age and adults 65 years of age or older. The elderly are especially at risk of becoming seriously ill and dying from this disease. Also, people with certain medical conditions such as chronic heart, lung, liver diseases or sickle cell anemia, asplenia, and HIV are at increased risk for getting pneumococcal pneumonia."

This is taken from the Walgreen website and it's quite accurate. No mention of prednisone here. Prednisone is sometimes used to treat pneumonia and other respiratory conditions, but it's not part of the vaccine.

Star: you get the flu vaccine every year; the pneumococcal shots (there are two) are only given once under ordinary circumstances.

Prednisone is a steroid
Has nothing to do with getting the pneumococcal vaccine
I get to vaccine every year
