Overview
Pneumococcal disease is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria and can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, and septicaemia. It is a leading cause of death in older adults and people with chronic health conditions. At Holborn Clinic, we provide the pneumococcal vaccine privately — no GP referral or waiting list. Our pharmacist will assess which vaccine type (conjugate or polysaccharide) is most appropriate for your age and medical history.
