Adverse event reporting can be found at the bottom of the page
The content of this site is based on the Prescribing Information for APEXXNAR®▼ (pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (20-valent, adsorbed)) for Great Britain. The Prescribing Information for Great Britain can be found here. Prescribing Information for Prevenar 13® (pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (13-valent, adsorbed)) can be found here.
As APEXXNAR contains the same 13 serotype-specific capsular polysaccharide conjugates and the same vaccine excipients as Prevenar 13 (plus an additional 7 serotypes), the adverse reactions already identified for Prevenar 13 have been adopted for APEXXNAR.1
No new adverse reactions were identified as compared to Prevenar 13.1
Adverse events that have been spontaneously reported during the postmarketing use of Prevenar 13, may also occur with APEXXNAR.1
Tabulated adverse events from Phase 3 trials (4,263 participants who received APEXXNAR) and Prevenar 13 postmarketing experience1
*Events reported spontaneously in Prevenar 13 postmarketing experience; therefore, the frequencies could not be estimated from the available data and are considered as not known.
†Not reported in the adult Phase 3 trials of APEXXNAR; therefore, the frequency is not known.
§Event reported in clinical trials with Prevenar 13 with very common frequency (≥ 1/10).
