Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. they are different vaccine
flu vaccine also known as influenza vaccine is very important for decreasing the chances of viral infection by at least 60% in your child.
the first dosage is given at the end of 6 months and the second dosage at the end of 7 months and then every year till completion of 7 years of age.
previously it was an optional vaccine but now it is considered as an important vaccine for children.
flu vaccine can be started at any age.
best time for flu vaccine is usually just before rainy season on set
pcv which also stands for pneumococcal vaccine is a very important vaccine and is mandatory for all children.
at present the vaccine is that much important that the indian government is giving it now free of cost in regular vaccination schedule.
meet your doctor who will tell you the schedule for pneumococcal vaccine.
even if it was missed previously you can gox for it now also.
this vaccine prevents infection due to pneumococcal bacteria which can affectx the brain throat chest the child.
