Question
At what age should children receive the pneumococcal vaccine?
Answer
Infants aged 1-6 months require a total of three doses of the pneumococcal vaccine, with each dose spaced 1-2 months apart. It is recommended to get vaccinated during this period for basic protection. When the baby reaches 12-15 months, the fifth dose is administered. For children aged 1-5 years who have not received the pneumococcal vaccine, only one dose is needed. For specific situations, it is advisable to consult with a doctor and provide detailed proof of the baby’s vaccination records to ensure accurate recommendations.
