CHQ: SUBJECT: Pneumococcal Polysaccharide - 23
  MESSAGE: I received the Pnuemoccoal Polysaccharide 23 vaccine in 2009 at the age of 67 years. I was told I would never need the vaccine again. Is that still true or has the vaccine been updated? Should I get it again now at the age of 72?
Summary: What are the guidelines for updating pneumococcal polysaccharide 23 vaccine for persons 65 and over?
