POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Yes, three doses of the PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) are generally recommended for infants as part of the routine immunization schedule. The first dose is usually given at 6 weeks of age, the second dose at 10 weeks, and the third dose at 14 weeks. This vaccination helps protect children from pneumococcal diseases, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections, which can be severe, especially in young children.
The exact schedule may vary slightly depending on local guidelines and healthcare recommendations. Some countries may also recommend a booster dose at 12-15 months of age to provide further protection as the child grows.
It's important to follow the vaccination schedule as recommended by your healthcare provider, as it ensures maximum protection against these potentially dangerous infections. If you have concerns or if your child has missed any doses, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician.
