Adults aged 50 years and older

 

(…)

In a third study in adults aged 50-93 years, it was demonstrated that Prevenar 13 may be given concomitantly with the seasonal quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV). The immune responses to all four QIV strains were noninferior when Prevenar 13 was given concomitantly with QIV compared to when QIV was given alone.

 

The immune responses to Prevenar 13 were noninferior when Prevenar 13 was given concomitantly with QIV compared to when Prevenar 13 was given alone. As with concomitant administration with trivalent vaccines, immune responses to some pneumococcal serotypes were lower when both vaccines were given concomitantly.

Wording has been added:

‘Data from a postmarketing clinical study evaluating the impact of prophylactic use of antipyretics
(ibuprofen and paracetamol) on the immune response to Prevenar 13 suggest that administration of
paracetamol concomitantly or within the same day of vaccination may reduce the immune response to
Prevenar 13 after the infant series. Responses to the booster dose administered at 12 months were
unaffected. The clinical significance of this observation is unknown.’

Section 5.1 the following paragraph has been added:
Immune responses after subcutaneous administration
Subcutaneous administration of Prevenar 13 was evaluated in a non-comparative study in 185 healthy Japanese infants and children who received 4 doses at 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months of age. The study demonstrated that safety and immunogenicity were generally comparable with observations made in studies of intramuscular administration.

Section 4.4 the following paragraph has been amended:
This vaccine should not be given as an intramuscular injection to infants or children with thrombocytopaenia or any coagulation disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injection, but may be given subcutaneously if the potential benefit clearly outweighs the risks (see section 5.1).
