Pneumonia and other pneumococcal infections can cause serious illness, particularly in older adults and individuals with underlying medical conditions.
At Imaan Healthcare, we offer the pneumococcal vaccine (also known as the pneumonia vaccine) to help protect your lungs, your health, and your future.
Whether you’re eligible for the NHS vaccine or seeking a private pneumonia vaccine in the UK, our trained clinicians are here to help you stay protected.
The pneumococcal vaccine helps prevent bloodstream infections, meningitis, and pneumonia caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Â
This vaccine, which is administered as a single injection and typically provides protection for years, is also referred to as the pneumonia shot or pneumonia immunisation.
We offer both NHS and private pneumonia vaccines depending on your eligibility, health status, and age.
Most people only need one dose of the pneumococcal shot for long-lasting protection. However
✅Some people may need a booster every 5 years (especially if immunocompromised)
✅Children receive the vaccine in multiple doses during their immunisation schedule
If you’re wondering how often you need a pneumonia shot, it depends on your age and health. Our pharmacists will advise you based on NHS guidance and your medical history.
If you’re not eligible or unable to wait for the NHS, but want more protection or faster access, we provide the private pneumonia vaccination.
