Covid and Pneumococcal vaccines

[RobertCLL]

Hi

Could someone please remind me of the suggested/recommended time interval between the Covid and Pneumococcal vaccines?

I'm not certain about time intervals for Covid jabs, and was hoping someone more knowledgeable would reply.

Meanwhile, I think I remember hearing that there should be at least 2 weeks between Covid vaccines and any other sorts of vaccines. Better ask your haematologist, to be sure.

The two pneumococcal vaccines have their own distinctive protocols (Usually a one-off Prevnar followed at least 6 months later by Pneumovax, then Pneumovax boosters every 5 years).

21 days between the first Pfizer Covid jab and the second one. I was 23 days. I am uncertain on the Moderna but I believe that is the same 21 days. And as Paula stated, it is recommended that there be 14 days between a Covid jab and any other vaccination.

Thank you.

I've just been through this and had to space my Covid and Pneumococcal vaccines. I was told there should be at least a seven day gap between the two. As it happened I got my 2nd Covid jab at week 10 after the 1st one and the gap was just over 2 weeks.

I have now booked my Pneumococcal vaccine with a 3 week space.
