3 Hib, 3 Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine): Hemophilus influ. Type b (hib) can cause meningitis, skin infections, possibly fatal throat (epiglottis) infections, etc... There are 3 shots for hib and for Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) in the first year (and 1 in the second year). Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) protects against some strains of streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Pneumococcus can cause meningitis, blood infections, sinus infections, ear infections, pneumonia, etc...

2-4 hib, 3-4 Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine): Two different hib vaccines exist. One is given at 2, 4, and 6 months with a 4th dose at 12-15 months. The other is given at 2, 4, and 12-15 months. Both work great. Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) is given at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months.
