1 dose of Prevnar13 at 2 to 4 years of age
Single dose of Prevnar13 at 12-15 months of age
2 doses of Prevnar13 2 months apart beginning at 12-15 months of age
Infants receiving Prevnar13 at 6 weeks, 14 weeks and 9 months. Note: This infant immunization schedule is used in many European countries and in South Africa and has been shown to be immunogenic and effective. However, few head-to-head comparisons of the 2+1 and 3+0 schedules have been conducted.
