Can you receive the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine 3rd dose if it has been more than 7 months?

Patient's question:

How can I get the third dose of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine if it's less than 7 months? My baby was born between 5-19 and got the second shot between 9-20, followed by the third shot between 11-24, with a one-month interval. By 12-25, it will be less than 7 months, so how can the third dose of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine still be administered?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you received the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine. You can get another shot after waiting more than one month. Your baby received the third dose in November, so you can get the second dose by December 25. Before getting the Category B vaccine, make sure to get the Category A and Category B vaccines first.
This is the advice for the question "How can I get the third dose of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine if my baby is under 7 months old?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
