Are there mushrooms in the pneumonia vaccine?

The pneumonia vaccine, also known as the pneumococcal vaccine, does not contain any mushrooms or mushroom-derived ingredients. It is made using purified polysaccharides extracted from the cell walls of specific Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, which are the bacteria that cause pneumonia. The vaccine is designed to help the body develop immunity to these bacteria, reducing the risk of pneumococcal pneumonia and other infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
