Mom, menurut saya informasi yang diberikan oleh careline Wyeth kurang
berimbang.
Seperti posting saya sebelumnya, vaksin pneumokokus tidak hanya satu.
Dari keterangan di CDC, ada PCV dan PPV -ini sekaligus koreksi.

FYI, vaksin yang diproduksi Wyeth ini termasuk PCV-7 (berisi 7 valen
virus).
Berikut saya kutipkan keterangan dari CDC (Center for Disease Control
and Preventions) tentang PCV:
---
The routine schedule for pneumococcal conjugate 
vaccine is 4 doses, one dose at each of these ages: 
- 2 months 
- 6 months 
- 4 months
- 12-15 months 
Children who weren't vaccinated at these ages can 
still get the vaccine.  The number of doses needed 
depends on the child's age.  Ask your health care 
provider for details.

Keterangan ini ada di sini:

(format pdf, hanya 2 halaman)

Masih dari CDC tentang vaksin:
---
Any vaccine can cause side effects. For the most part these are minor
(for example, a sore arm or low-grade fever) and go away within a few
days. Listed below are vaccines licensed in the United States and side
effects that have been associated with each of them. This information
is copied directly from CDC's Vaccine Information Statements, which in
turn are derived from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP) recommendations for each vaccine.

Jadi yang berbeda adalah jenis efek samping yang bersifat individual.
MANAPUN BISA.

What are the risks from pneumococcal conjugate vaccine?

In studies (nearly 60,000 doses), pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was
associated with only mild reactions:

    * Up to about 1 infant out of 4 had redness, tenderness, or
swelling where the shot was given.
    * Up to about 1 out of 3 had a fever of over 100.4 degrees
Fahrenheit, and up to about 1 in 50 had a higher fever (over 102.2
degrees Fahrenheit).
    * Some children also became fussy or drowsy, or had a loss of
appetite.

So far, no moderate or severe reactions have been associated with this
vaccine. However, a vaccine, like any medicine, could cause serious
problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. The risk of this vaccine
causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.

Untuk vaksin PP (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide):
What are the risks from PPV?

PPV is a very safe vaccine.
About half of those who get the vaccine have very mild side effects,
such as redness or pain where the shot is given.

Less than 1% develop a fever, muscle aches, or more severe local
reactions.

Severe allergic reactions have been reported very rarely.

As with any medicine, there is a very small risk that serious
problems, even death, could occur after getting a vaccine.

Getting the disease is much more likely to cause serious problems than
getting the vaccine.

Jadi ADA efek samping untuk vaksin IPD dari Wyeth (PCV-7) bermerek
dagang Prevnar :)
Dan ada pula efek samping untuk vaksin PPV (saat ini diproduksi oleh
Merck, dengan merek dagang Pneumo 23).

Semoga membantu meluruskan.
Kita juga boleh kok, memeriksa dulu label dan kemasannya untuk memastikan.

Oh ya, saya bukan PR dari pembuat-vaksin-pesaing-Wyeth kok hehehe...
Hanya ibu biasa dengan jumlah pertanyaan yang kurang biasa.

Salam,
