What if
one stalk
of broccoli
could help
prevent
cancer?
Wishful thinking, right?
But one
step can
help prevent
pneumococcal
pneumonia.
One dose
of the
PREVNAR 13®
vaccine
can help
protect you.
PREVNAR 13®
is used in adults 50
and older to help
prevent infections
from 13 strains of the
bacteria that cause
pneumococcal
pneumonia. It is not
100% effective and
will only help protect
against 13 strains of
the disease found in
the vaccine.
Over 50?
Ask your doctor
about PREVNAR 13®
50 or older?
