PVC 3 can be given at 7 months if not given already, for the booster effect .It’s an optional vaccine but benefits are there in getting the vaccine . Influenza vaccine is also an optional vaccine but beneficial against swine flu as well and also for the seasonal flu. Better go ahead and receive these vaccines
