PCV doses clarification

2022-10-18 02:23:12
For my kids initial i.e 6,10 and 14 weeks vaccination completed at government healthcare center. Sofar they given PCV 2times i.e PCV-1 at 6th week and PCV-2 at 16th week and they told they will give booster dose in 9th month. But in private hospital they are giving total 4 doses of PCV I.e PCV-1,2,3 and booster in 15 months. So for my kid once we take PCV booster in 9th month from government, can we take again PCV from private in 16th month for him so that 4 doses completed for better immunity ?

The government and IAP schedules are different. The government schedule is acceptable as they have decided on it after studies. You can take the 4th dose if you wish at 15 months. No problem

No not needed then Either it can be 2+1 schedule, which you are following Or 3+1 schedule of private. Don't mix and match. One option is to take prevenar 13 after 2 years of age, if you want 4 doses
