Pneumovax 23 Description. 1  PNEUMOVAX1 23 (Pneumococcal Vaccine Polyvalent) is a sterile, liquid vaccine for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. 2  Pneumococcal infection is a leading cause of death throughout the world{3} and a major cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media.
A second type of pneumococcal vaccine, known as the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, protects against more types of pneumococcus (23 types), but does not include the harmless protein, so it is mostly used only in older adults or those at higher risk for pneumococcus.he big difference between the pneumococcal vaccine and the Hib vaccine is the number of different types of polysaccharides that need to be included in the vaccine. Whereas, there is really only one strain of Hib that causes disease in children, there are about 90 different strains of pneumococcus.
