Slight phlegm is not a contraindication for pneumovac vaccine. Pneumovac 23 vaccine should be taken once only in 5yrs in adults above 50yrs according to CDC guidelines Taking before 5yrs can lead to hyporesponsiveness.

Hello, Yeah having an occasional cough is okay u should not worry about that. If u have any active infection during this period first complete the antibiotic treatment to resolve the active infection. After 15 days you can proceed further for your Pneumovax Vaccine. But u need to take 3 doses of vaccine to develop lifelong immunity
