Post Spleenectomy vaccine, also known as Pneumococcal vaccine, is designed to provide protection against capsulated bacteria, a bacterial infection that can cause serious health complications, particularly in individuals who have had their spleen removed. The spleen plays an important role in the body's immune system, and individuals who have had a splenectomy are at higher risk of developing Pneumococcal disease. The vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can fight off the bacteria responsible for causing Pneumococcal disease. The vaccine is typically given to individuals who have had a splenectomy, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions that may weaken their immune system
