"Got the shot. Was a little sting at the time of injection, which is normal so I thought. The next day I couldn’t move my arm without severe pain. Ice, Tylenol, heat.. nothing helps! Worst shot I’ve received"

"It was initially painful and I was told that it would hurt next day. So I thought of it as having a tetanus booster. But within two hours I lost the use of my arm. Abduction and adduction was painful and I had to use one arm to lift the other and needed assistance with dressing. I lost time from work and could not drive. This is day 4. I don't see this as an adverse side effect listed on the company website but there appear to be several examples here. I have to have one a year and a day from the date of this one and it has made me rethink doing that at this point. Hopefully this will start to get better. Hopefully."

"I received this pneumococcal vaccine a few weeks ago. Other than a sore arm at the injection site area, I had no other side effects. Everyone's experience will differ, but I imagine that most people don't bother to post their experience unless it was a negative one."

Prevnar 13 (pneumococcal 13-valent vaccine) "A little hesitant, but at 64, Doctor reminded me I should get this shot and another next year. Having persistent asthma I knew I should and had put it off for other shots like covid, shingles, flu. Doctor was pretty reassuring and experienced. Really I’ve only had a longer local reaction, so a little soreness in the shoulder for about 4 days, but not much worse than a flu shot TBH. A little more fatigued than normal but overall fine."

Prevnar 13 (pneumococcal 13-valent vaccine) "I am 54 years old man and some 3 and half years ago started my pneumonia history. I got it first time in 2017 December. After that I had it time to time and in 2019 my doctor said me if I'll take Prevnar 13 vaccine. I was pleased and of course I took it in September 2019. But in March 2020 I got pneumonia again and I took Cortisone also, 5th time in 6 months. I had much problems from 2019 Autumn to March 2020 with lungs. (I have Asthma also) March 28th 2020 I was diagnosed having Covid-19 and of course it went to lungs because I just had pneumonia and gazillion cortisone courses. But luckily it was only problem with cough. After that I took Pneumovax 23 in September 2020, because I was reading that it would be good to buffer Prevnar13 and after that, I had Zero pneumonia and zero Covid-19."

Prevnar 13 (pneumococcal 13-valent vaccine) "Sore arm, no worse than flu shot. Chills the first night, but nothing drastic. Arm is totally functional, just tender."

Prevnar 13 (pneumococcal 13-valent vaccine) "Received Prevnar 13 a week ago. Soreness, itchiness, redness, warmness, all felt on injection site up to this time. No clue when it will be gone. What a bad experience with this vaccine!"
