Hello Doctor,

I have a query regrading the pneumococcal vaccine .We didn't take the vaccine in week 6 and 10 thinking it was just an optional vaccination.
we already took the other vaccinations for week 6 and 10 .

I came to know that pneumococcal is also important..can you tell if I can take it for my baby from now.

when and how many dose do we need .

can you please respond on this
