A member asked:
Is it all right to have a vaccination of invasive pneumococcal disease ii when the baby is 6 months old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: We start that at 2 months with boosters at 4 and 6 months with a booster later. The sooner the vaccine is given, the sooner baby can begin production of active immunity against these germs.
