Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococci. It can cause a range of conditions, from ear infections to life-threatening illnesses like meningitis and sepsis.

Symptoms
Ear infections, such as otitis media.
Pneumonia, a serious chest infection.
Bacteremia, a blood infection that can lead to sepsis.

Sepsis, a blood poisoning.
Transmission
Pneumococcal disease is spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact.
Some people can carry the bacteria in their throat without being sick and spread it to others.
Risk factors
People with weakened immune systems, such as children and the elderly, are at higher risk.
Outbreaks can occur in environments where many people have weakened immune systems, like children's nurseries and care homes.
Prevention
The pneumococcal vaccine protects against some types of pneumococcal bacteria.
The vaccine is recommended for infants and adults over 65.
People who are at clinical risk may also be recommended the vaccine.
