COPDWilliam, age 48COPD puts adult patients at greater risk1,2~11.7 million US adults were living with COPD in 20223*

5.6x greater risk for pneumococcal pneumonia for adults with chronic lung disease, including COPD, compared with healthy adults in the same age range.4,5

Adults aged 50 years or older with COPD who experienced a worsening of their condition due to CAP may experience a delay of several weeks to months before fully recovering.2†

The CDC recommends Prevnar 20® for eligible adult patients with COPD.6

Both vaccine-naïve‡ and previously vaccinated§ eligible adults who are at an increased risk.6

§Patients with chronic conditionswho have received PPSV23 only or PCV13 only are eligible for PCV20 or PCV21.6

The ALA recommends vaccinating against pneumococcal pneumonia for patients at high risk.7

Prevnar 20® completes the CDC recommendation in one dose for ALL eligible adult patients.6,8 Vaccinate today.
