Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary prevention includes a pneumococcal vaccine, especially for the high-risk groups, ages 2 years old and up, including those with chronic diseases, immune-suppressing health conditions, or those who are asplenic. Reimmunization is recommended only for high-risk children, or adults over 65 years old who had their first vaccination before age 65. The vaccine is not effective in children younger than 2 years of age and is not recommended for the healthy population between the ages of 2 and 65 years.
