1. Pcv ie pneumococcal vaccine is important. Pneumococcus causes more than 4 lakh deaths in children under 5 years as per UNICEF. Currently, it's the number one cause of death in children. Even Government has now included this vaccine in government hospitals. You can give pcv to your 8 months baby. Baby will need 3 doses at 8 months, 9 months and booster dose at 1 yr 6 months
