Treatment options and two pneumococcal vaccines
- Antibiotic therapy. For bacterial pneumonia, the drug depends on the bacteria causing the infection. Options include macrolides such as azithromycin and clarithromycin, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin.
- Oxygen therapy. This supports patients with low blood oxygen from pneumonia, including severe cases and older adults.
- Thoracentesis or chest drainage. These procedures remove fluid linked to pleural effusion or severe pneumonia complications.
- Pneumococcal vaccination. Two vaccine types offer different coverage and immune effects. They may be given separately or together. Vaccination history is reviewed before a booster, and public subsidy is available for patients aged 65 and older. The clinic notes that vaccination can prevent about 90% of pneumococcal disease.
