Q.

My baby is 3 months and 22 days old. I had the 14 weeks vaccine yesterday except for PCV-3. At the government hospital they said 2 doses of PCV is sufficient ( which was administered on 6th and 10th week). now what should I do. Should I get the PCV 3 done or not?

A. the government is giving only subcutaneous dose but I really it should be 3 dosage so no need to worry it is advisable to give 3 dosage for pneumococcal vaccine

A. If I want to you can get it done in a private hospital otherwise two dosages are sufficient they were previously two dosages only now they have become heroes in last some time what is the Weiss two are more than enough actually that was the right number to go for so it’s your choice actually
