Pneumonia vaccine causing ear infection side effect

Pneumonia is a serious ailment, and any vaccine that helps prevent it in children and the elderly is generally a good thing for advanced medicine. Well, except for the drug-resistant germs it is creating that end up as ear infections in kids.

Drug-resistant mutations are common with advanced drugs, and children's vaccines are no different. But, if your child has received a pneumonia vaccine recently, let's hope he or she does not develop an ear infection due to that vaccine.

the new "superbug" is a strain of the strep bacteria that's not included in that actual vaccine, but can be promoted by that vaccine's use. Result? A new focus on childrens' antibiotics an their specific uses, most likely.
