PREVENAR 20 vaccine price in India and at VacciHub
Use the live price in the booking card for your VacciHub order. It is linked to the existing PREVENAR 20 catalogue item, so the detail page and checkout use the same product.
Compare like for like: a pharmacy’s syringe-only price may differ from a home-vaccination service total. Nursing or home-visit fees are separate and depend on your PIN code. Review the item quantity, visit charge and final total before payment. Availability and appointment timing must be confirmed.

Pneumococcal pneumonia
A lung infection caused by covered strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Invasive pneumococcal disease
Serious infection that can include bacteria in the bloodstream and pneumococcal meningitis.
PCV20 links bacterial sugar antigens to a carrier protein to help the immune system recognise the included serotypes. It is preventive, not a treatment for an existing infection. It does not prevent all pneumonia or replace influenza vaccination, and protection is not guaranteed for every recipient.
PREVENAR 20 adult dose and vaccination schedule
| Item | Adult guidance |
|---|---|
| Indian approved age | 18 years and above |
| Standard dose | One 0.5 mL dose |
| Administration | Intramuscular, usually in the upper arm, by a healthcare professional |
| Repeat dose | Routine revaccination with PREVENAR 20 has not been established |
Bring the dates and names of any earlier PCV13, PCV15, PCV20 or PPSV23 doses. A physician should decide whether PCV20 is appropriate and when to give it. Do not assume an immediate extra dose is needed after PREVENAR 13.
Older adults and adults with conditions such as chronic lung or heart disease, diabetes, or reduced immunity can discuss pneumococcal prevention with their doctor. A licensed age range does not mean every adult needs the same vaccination plan.
PREVENAR 20 vs PREVENAR 13 vs Pneumovax 23
| Vaccine | Type | Serotypes | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| PREVENAR 20 | Conjugate (PCV20) | 20 | 13 PCV13 serotypes plus seven additional serotypes |
| PREVENAR 13 | Conjugate (PCV13) | 13 | Earlier Pfizer conjugate vaccine |
| Pneumovax 23 | Polysaccharide (PPSV23) | 23 | A different vaccine type; schedules are not interchangeable |
The seven additional PCV20 serotypes are 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F. Serotype count alone does not decide the right vaccine. Your age, health and previous doses matter.

What is PREVENAR 20 (PCV20)?
PREVENAR 20 is Pfizer’s 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. It helps prevent pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the vaccine’s serotypes. In India, its approved use is for adults aged 18 years and over.
What is the PREVENAR 20 vaccine price at VacciHub?

PCV20 contains the 13 serotypes in PCV13 plus seven more: 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F. Broader serotype coverage does not mean protection against every cause of pneumonia.
Can I receive PCV20 after PREVENAR 13 or Pneumovax 23?
Possibly, depending on your age, health risks, earlier vaccine doses and dates. Bring your vaccination record; your physician should confirm whether another dose is appropriate and the required interval.
