Prevnar 20® helps protect against the 20 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in the vaccine.1

There are no studies that compare the efficacy of Prevnar 20® to a 15-valent PCV.

Prevnar 20® (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) helps protect against 20 serotypes responsible for the majority of the remaining burden of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children <5 years of age1-3Prevnar 20® (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) helps protect against 20 serotypes responsible for the majority of the remaining burden of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children <5 years of age1-3 Percentage of IPD cases potentially covered by vaccine serotypes4*

CDC surveillance data in children <5 years of age in the US, 2018-2019

13 serotypes provide coverage for serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, and 6C (highly related to 6A). 15 serotypes provide coverage for all serotypes covered by 13 serotypes and the additional serotypes 22F and 33F. 20 serotypes provide coverage for all serotypes covered by 15 serotypes and the additional serotypes 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, and 15B.1-5CDC=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; PCV=pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

INDICATIONS 
  • Prevnar 20® is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in individuals 6 weeks of age and older
  • Both Prevnar 20® and Prevnar 13® are vaccines indicated for active immunization for the prevention of otitis media caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F in individuals 6 weeks through 5 years of age
  • Prevnar 13® is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F in individuals 6 weeks through 17 years of age
Prevnar 13® Limitations of Use: Prevnar 13® will only help protect against S. pneumoniae serotypes in the vaccine.
Important Safety Information
  • Do not administer Prevnar 20® or Prevnar 13® to individuals with a severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of Prevnar 20® or Prevnar 13® or to diphtheria toxoid
  • Safety and immunogenicity data on Prevnar 20® are not available for individuals in immunocompromised groups, and vaccination should be considered on an individual basis. Based on experience with pneumococcal vaccines, individuals with altered immunocompetence may have reduced immune responses to Prevnar 20®
  • Immunocompromised individuals or individuals with impaired immune responsiveness due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy may have reduced antibody response to Prevnar 13®
  • Apnea following intramuscular vaccination has been observed in some infants born prematurely. Vaccination of premature infants should be based on the infant’s medical status and the potential benefits and risks
  • For Prevnar 20®, in individuals 2, 4, 6, and 12 through 15 months of age vaccinated with a 4-dose schedule, the most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions (>10%) were irritability, pain at the injection site, drowsiness, decreased appetite, injection site redness, injection site swelling, and fever
  • For Prevnar 20®, in individuals 15 months through 17 years of age vaccinated with a single dose, the most commonly reported solicited adverse reactions (>10%) were irritability, pain at the injection site, drowsiness, fatigue and muscle pain, decreased appetite, injection site swelling, injection site redness, headache, and fever
  • For Prevnar 13®, in individuals 6 weeks through 17 years of age, the most commonly reported serious adverse events were bronchiolitis (0.9%), gastroenteritis (0.9%), and pneumonia (0.9%)
  • For Prevnar 13®, in individuals 6 weeks through 17 years of age, the most common side effects were irritability, decreased appetite, decreased or increased sleep, fever, and injection site tenderness, redness, or swelling
  • In individuals 6 years through 17 years of age, Prevnar 13® is administered as a single dose
Patients should always ask their healthcare providers for medical advice about adverse events. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of vaccines to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
