- Pneumococcal
- Recommendations for Adults
Since pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for all adults who smoke cigarettes, should adults who use smokeless tobacco products (e.g., chewing tobacco) or who vape nicotine be vaccinated too?
No. ACIP does not identify people who use smokeless tobacco products or vaping as being at increased risk for invasive pneumococcal disease or as being in a risk group recommended for vaccination.
