This indicator shows the percentage of adults who have ever received a pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccine.
Why is this important?
Pneumococcal pneumonia is a serious condition characterized by high fever, cough, shortness of breath, and meningitis. It is a contagious disease and can be spread by respiratory secretions from coughing or sneezing. Pneumococcal pneumonia is the leading cause of vaccine-preventable death and illness in the United States--it kills about 1 out of every 20 people who develop the disease. The pneumococcal vaccine is very effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the current vaccine for adults ages 65 years and older and for children ages 2 and older who are at high risk for disease.
