Pneumococcal
Hi, we had missed getting pneumococcal for our daughter as she followed government based vaccination doc and eventually got infected once she went to school (typhus/pneumonia). Please help out by suggesting how long to wait before getting her the vaccine now, she's 3 years old and is a bit underweight for her age although she's healthy overall and is fully home fed. Thanks!
