Re: Did anyone have any side effects from the Prevnar 13

No, to sick or stomach ache, but a sore, hot, and red injection site.

Yep, I felt like I had the flu for about 3 days afterwards. Chills, fatigue, but no fever.

Re: Did anyone have any side effects from the Prevnar 13

I had my second pneumonia shot in the Spring and remember having a very sore arm and feeling a little queasy. It lasted for about a day, then I was fine.

Yes, I was nauseus and feverish for a few days.  This happens to me from all my shots.  I still believe in getting them.

Thanks everyone. Got the Prevnar 13 (1st shot) yesterday and other than a sore arm I feel fine so far.  I think the benefits far outweigh the arm pain.

Yes.  when I got the Prevnar Booster shot My life changed.  I haven't felt good since.  I lost my quality of life.  I feel like I have been run over by a truck.

How long has it been and have you spoken to your doctor

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Re: Did anyone have any side effects from the Prevnar 13

Did fine with the 13 and the 23.  All three singles shots were a piece of cake.  Never notice the flu shot.

 

But give me a tetanus and I whine in bed for days.
