Children are offered the pneumococcal vaccination as part of the childhood immunisation programme and it was introduced in 2006. All who have had this are as protected as they can be and there are no other immunisations we can give that add any extra protection to what you already have.
Adults with coeliac disease may not have had the vaccine during childhood, or after their coeliac disease diagnosis. If they haven’t, they are advised to speak with their GPs and arrange a vaccination at a convenient time. Clearly we are in difficult times, and the priority for now is reducing your risk of getting Coronavirus in the first place. That is the priority for all of us. GPs and their teams are going to be overwhelmed with enquiries and may not be able to arrange pneumococcal vaccinations quickly for you. In reality, even if you have not had the vaccination, your risk of developing a pneumococcal infection is low. Most patients as far as we can tell, will only ever need one dose of vaccination against pneumococcal disease and that is in the current government immunisation advice. The vaccine is called PPV23.
