Hi thanks for writing to Practo. If it's infection cause. She may have improvement. But if it's allergic cause, she may not. As it is this vaccine has 4 dose schedule which provides 70-80% protection against pneumococcal ds. Now at 2 years age with single shit you will have only 40-50% protection. So it's entirely your decision.
