I finally got around to getting my Capvaxive 0.5ml IM Pfs(10 Pack) vaccine today. I've been hearing a lot about it as an alternative to the PCV13. It's supposed to protect against 21 different types of pneumococcal bacteria. Anyone else switched from PCV13 to this? How does it compare in terms of effectiveness and side effects? I'm a bit concerned about the side effects, especially the allergic reactions. I don't recall feeling too bad after PCV13, but I know everyone's different. Did anyone experience any issues, and if so, how did you manage them? Also, has anyone noticed any differences in how quickly they felt better after getting this shot?
