A. 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.x meet your doctor who will tell you the schedule for pneumococcal vaccine. even if it wxas missed previously you can go for it now also. this vaccine prevents infection due to pneumococcal bacteria which can affect the brain throat chest the child

A. See If they’re giving it now then you get it done now as well it’s not at all in issue if you still have some kind of a confusion associated with that then you should talk to you or Dr who is a you know in the private hospital in a paediatrician working in private hospital would be able to give you clarity on this
