Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. since you have started the pneumococcal vaccine before 6 months so you will have to complete at least 3 dosage before 1 year and then the booster dosage will come at 15 months of age. it is advisable to upgrade from 10 valent(synflorix/pneumosil) to 13-valent(prevenar) but it is not advisable to degrade from 13-valent to 10 valent(pneumosil/synflorix)

Author of questionMom of a 5 yr old girl4 years agoA. Thank u for the reply.
In case of my baby, the first dose has given on 5 months, 2nd dose on 6 month. now she s 7 month old. so the 3 rd dose should be given to the child or not?
and what would happen if both the doses are from different brands?
