Fulham Palace Pharmacy

How Does This Service Work?

We start with a free consultation to review your health history and assess risk factors. You’ll learn if you qualify for the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) or conjugate vaccine (PCV).

If eligible, you receive one dose of PPV23 at age sixty-five or older. Those with long-term conditions may need a single dose or repeat dose every five years.

Our pharmacist delivers the injection subcutaneously and observes you for fifteen minutes to ensure you have no adverse reactions. We schedule follow-up doses if required.

You leave with clear after-care advice. Our team stays available by phone for any post-vaccine questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fulham Palace Pharmacy

  • Who should have the pneumonia (pneumococcal) vaccine?

    You should have the pneumococcal vaccine if you are aged sixty-five or older or if you have a long-term health condition such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease. The vaccine also suits adults with weakened immunity. Our consultation will confirm which vaccine type you need and if extra doses apply.

  • How many doses do I need?

    Most adults aged sixty-five and over need a single PPV23 dose for lifelong protection. If you have certain medical conditions, you may require extra PPV23 doses every five years or an initial PCV dose followed by PPV23. We’ll advise the correct schedule during your consultation.

  • Is the vaccine safe and effective?

    Yes. The pneumococcal vaccines are made from inactivated bacterial components that cannot cause disease. They reduce your risk of pneumonia, meningitis and blood infections. Side effects are generally mild and brief. Serious reactions are very rare.

  • Can I get the vaccine alongside my flu jab?

    You can receive the pneumococcal vaccine on the same day as your flu vaccination, provided they are given in different arms. Combining appointments can save you time and ensure you’re protected against both seasonal flu and pneumonia.

  • What if I miss my scheduled follow-up dose?

    Contact us as soon as possible. We’ll book you in at the correct interval. Delayed doses still boost immunity effectively, so please do not skip them permanently.

  • Can I catch pneumonia from the vaccine?

    No. The vaccine contains no live bacteria, so it cannot cause pneumonia. You might experience mild side effects like soreness, but these are signs your immune system is responding.
