How often do you get the prevnar 13 injection..I am 77 years old snd controlled diabetes

Hello. Thank you for writing.

CDC recommends 2 pneumococcal vaccines for all adults 65 years or older. You should receive a dose of PCV13 first, followed by a dose of PPSV23, at least 1 year later. If you already received any doses of PPSV23, get the dose of PCV13 at least 1 year after the most recent PPSV23 dose. Speak with your doctor.
