Vaccine is Equally effective even if you give it late.. Its given early coz in developing country like india peumonia is a major cause of death in infant period...so if we give early it will give protection early and prevent mortality and morbidity....

if u r starting PCV vaccine before 6 month in that case baby will need total 3 dose plus booster . Any vaccine if given within stipulated age group is equally effective. Only thing  is that  immunity only starts after h fake vaccine.
