The Municipal Health Department (Sesma) of Belém has expanded the offer of the Pneumo 20 vaccine to elderly people aged 85 and over in the municipal health network.
The vaccine protects against 20 types of pneumococcal bacteria, which cause serious diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis, and is made available completely free of charge by the Unified Health System (SUS).
The distribution of new doses to vaccination rooms in Belém and partner institutions was completed this week, ensuring supply to all service points. Vaccination takes place from Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm.
Below, check out the main information about the service, who can receive the dose, the necessary documents and the complete list of vaccination stations in the capital of Pará.
Who is entitled to receive the Pneumo 20 vaccine?
The new immunization strategy, directed by the Ministry of Health, establishes two priority target audiences:
Elderly people aged 85 or over: They can receive the vaccine regardless of whether they have chronic diseases. Advanced age, in itself, is already considered a factor of immunological vulnerability.
Elderly people aged 60 to 84: They are entitled to the dose if they are bedridden or institutionalized and have special clinical conditions, according to the criteria in Technical Note 52/2026 of the Ministry of Health.
What do I need to bring to get vaccinated?
To receive a dose of the Pneumo 20 vaccine, the elderly person or their guardian must present the following documents at the service points:
Official identification document with photo (to prove age);
CPF or SUS Card;
Vaccination booklet (essential for the healthcare team to check the immunization history).
Attention: It is not necessary to present a prescription or medical referral for seniors aged 85 or over.
If the elderly person has previously received another vaccine against pneumococcus (such as Pneumo 13), the booklet will be evaluated by the healthcare team to determine whether there is an indication for the new dose.
How does vaccination work for bedridden elderly people?
For bedridden elderly people who meet the immunization criteria, Belém City Hall offers a home vaccination service.
To request care at home, a family member or guardian must go to the health unit closest to the elderly person's residence, inform them of their bedridden condition and register so that the health team can schedule the visit.
Why is the Pneumo 20 vaccine important?
According to Sesma's Immunization Coordination, the Pneumo 20 vaccine represents a technological advance in relation to the Pneumo 13, previously used. It expands vaccination coverage to 20 different serotypes of pneumococcal bacteria.
With the natural aging process (immunosenescence), the immune system becomes more vulnerable to bacterial infections.
The vaccine acts directly to prevent invasive pneumococcal diseases, drastically reducing the risk of serious complications, hospital admissions and deaths in old age.
Where to get the Pneumo 20 vaccine in Belém?
Vaccinations are available at dozens of points spread across the districts of Belém, in addition to partner universities and hospitals. Service takes place from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm.
