Pneumococcal Vaccine

Pneumococcal infection can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. Those aged 65 or over, or those under 65 with certain health conditions are at greater risk.

The pneumococcal vaccine is the best way to protect against the diseases and conditions caused by the pneumococcal bacteria.

To help raise awareness, Public Health Scotland has created a social media toolkit with assets and captions to share on your social media channels.     

All the resources are available to download here.  

Could you please regularly feed these social media assets into your planned activity using the hashtag #PneumococcalVaccineScot
