POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. For your 6-week-old daughter, PCV13 (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine 13-valent) is generally the most recommended and widely used option. It protects against 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria and offers broader coverage than PCV10. PCV14 is newer and not yet standard in most immunization schedules; it's best to go with what your pediatrician recommends based on availability and guidelines in your country.
Regarding painful vs. painless vaccines (especially for DTP), the painful version (DTwP) provides stronger immunity and is usually used in national immunization programs. The painless version (DTaP) causes fewer side effects like fever or swelling but may be slightly less immunogenic. If your baby had severe reactions earlier, your doctor may suggest the painless one. Always consult your pediatrician to decide the best and safest option for your child.
