A. hi, your baby is 9 months old now both vaccine are completely different.pcv is for pneumonia due to bacterial infection and influenza is viral infection.depending on your baby's health you can go for either or both

A. Hello ma’am Well as per my information Both the vaccinations are different and it is mostly recommended to go for both of them but if you skipped any of them then you can get it done now also because you for that you do need to consult your paediatrician and if your doctor says that you can get the vaccination is done now also then go ahead and get it done as soon as you can
