Pneumococcal infections can cause serious, life-threatening diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and sepsis, to less serious but much more common diseases such as sinusitis and otitis media. Therefore, vaccination with Synflorix pneumococcal vaccine is considered an effective preventive measure.

Synflorix vaccine prevents pneumonia, otitis media, meningitis, and bacteremia caused by pneumococcus. It is indicated for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Depending on each age group, there will be different regimens and number of pneumococcal injections.

Acute otitis media often accompanies upper respiratory tract infections. Acute otitis media caused by pneumococcus is a common disease in children under 5 years old, often recurring many times if not treated promptly, causing serious consequences for children.
