Patient's question:
Children from bad families have always been vaccinated in the order listed on their vaccination records. However, there has been a resurgence of pneumonia, a disease we have never had before. We would like to consult about when to get the pediatric pneumonia vaccine.Doctor's answer:
1-6 months old infants need to be vaccinated with 3 doses of pneumococcal vaccine, with an interval of 1-2 months between each dose. At this time, vaccination provides basic protection. When the baby reaches 12-15 months old, they need to be vaccinated with the fifth dose. If the child is slightly older and has not been vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine, 1-5 or 18 years old children only need to be vaccinated with one dose. Specific details can be consulted with a doctor, providing detailed vaccination records for the baby to allow the doctor to make accurate assessments.
