Get Vaccinated to Prevent Pneumococcal Infections
預防肺炎球菌 - 接種 13 價結合疫苗
Why get vaccinated? 為何要注射預防肺炎球菌疫苗?
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (called PCV13 or Prevnar 13®) is recommended to protect infants and toddlers, and some
older children and adults with certain health conditions, from pneumococcal disease. This disease is caused by infection with
Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. These bacteria can spread from person to person through close contact.
接種肺炎球菌結合疫苗（ PCV13 稱或 Prevnar 13® ）能夠有效地預防疫苗內所包含的血清類型。這些細菌一般可以通過人與人的
接觸而傳播，嚴重的可引致侵入性肺炎球菌感染（如腦膜炎、菌血性肺炎及敗血病）。嬰兒，年輕的學童及 50 歲以上成人的屬於高
危人士，因此我們建議他們注射預防疫苗，保護自己及家人的健康。

Q1：
： Why I need the prevention of Streptococcus Pneumoniae?
為什麼我需要接種肺炎球菌呢？
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that road traffic accidents kill more than one million people
worldwide in one year (approx. 1.2 million deaths), so does pneumococcal disease (1.6 million deaths).
According to 2012 data from the Centre of Health Protection (CHP), Pneumonia is the No.2 killer disease in
Hong Kong.
Apart from children and elderly being the high risk group for pneumococcal disease infection, data from the
UK, the US and Hong Kong shows that the incidence of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) also rapidly
increases after the age of 50. Approximately 80% of IPD in adults is bacteraemic pneumonia.
世界衛生組織指出一年死於肺炎球菌疾病的人數全球多達 160 萬，比一年死於交通意外的 120 萬人更高。根
據香港衛生防護中心的數字顯示, 自 2012 年起, 肺炎躍升為香港第二大殺手。
除了嬰幼兒及長者有較高機會感染肺炎球菌疾病外；根據英美及香港數據顯示，
年齡超過 50 的成年人亦容易感染入侵性肺炎球菌疾病。當中約有 80% 感染
肺炎球菌疾病之成年人屬細菌性肺炎。
Q2：
：Difference between the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) and
Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV)
新和舊的肺炎球菌疫苗的分別
There are two approved pneumococcal vaccines available in the market, including Pneumococcal
Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) and the new 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13). PVC13
adopts the latest conjugation technology and has been approved in countries including the EU and the US
for use in adults aged 50 and above.
市面上共有兩種獲核准使用的肺炎球菌疫苗，包括屬舊一代的肺炎球菌多醣疫苗和新一代的 13 價肺炎球菌結
合疫苗。新一代的 13 價結合疫苗採用嶄新結合技術研製，已獲歐美多國核准使用於 50 歲或以上的成年人。

Q3：
：For adults who have or have not been vaccinated with PPV, can they still
receive PCV 13 vaccination?
從未接種或已接種舊一代肺炎球菌多醣疫苗人士可接種 13 價結合疫苗嗎?
Regardless of prior pneumococcal vaccination status, PCV13 should be given first. For those who have
previously been vaccinated, please consult your physician for further information.
如需接種肺炎球菌疫苗，應先接種新一代 13 價肺炎球菌結合疫苗。若已接種舊一代多醣疫苗，應向醫生查詢
補種 13 價結合疫苗的詳情。
Q4：
：I have already received influenza vaccination; do I still need to receive
pneumococcal vaccine?
我已接種流感疫苗，還需接種肺炎球菌疫苗?
Influenza is caused by influenza virus, when your immune response is weakened, (e.g. if you have a cold),
Streptococcus Pneumoniae, a bacteria, which causes pneumococcal disease can easily invade and might
lead to complications such as bacteraemic pneumonia, bacteraemia and meningitis. Hence, dual
vaccination can help protect against both diseases.
流感是由流感病毒引起，當免疫能力減弱時，有機會併發肺炎球菌疾病，如細菌性肺炎、腦膜炎及敗血病等。
因此即使已接種流感疫苗，還需要額外接種肺炎球菌疫苗。
Q5：
：How many types of PCV are available in HK and what are their protection
and safety profiles?
香港現時市面上有幾多種肺炎球菌結合疫苗，它們的保護性及安全性是怎樣？
There are various types of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) available in the market. They are safe
and effective in preventing invasive pneumococcal diseases while either one PCV can cover all serotypes of
Streptococcus Pneumoniae. Personal and environmental hygiene are also important preventive measures.
現在市面上有多於一種不同的肺炎球菌結合疫苗。它們都是安全及能有效地預防嚴重入侵性肺炎球菌感染。但
是沒有一種疫苗能預防所有血清類型的肺炎鏈球菌。注意個人及環境衞生是同樣重要的預防方法。
Q6：
：Would there be any adverse effects upon receiving vaccination?
接種肺炎球菌疫苗會有副作用嗎?
Adverse effects including swelling, pain and redness at injection site may occur. These should normally fade
away shortly. Nevertheless anyone with persistent or serious discomfort after vaccination should contact
the doctor ASAP.
注射部位或會出現輕微紅、腫、痛。但這些症狀在數天內會自然消失。
若接種後有嚴重或持續不適，應盡快聯絡醫生。
