Asked for Male, 1 Years

Hi, my son is 1.5 yrs old and we haven't given him pcv13 yet as they don't give in BMC hospitals. Recently he got high fever as he is also teething. I am not sure the reason but dont want to take any risk. Can we give pcv13 at this age and how many doses can be given further, at what age? Apprecite the answers.
