IPD: invasive pneumococcal disease; PCV: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV7: 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV13: 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV15: 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV20: 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PPSV23: 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.
* For immunocompromised children (including those with asplenia) who receive PPSV23, the Advisory Committee on Vaccine Practices recommends a total of 2 doses. However, some experts suggest that children with asplenia receive PPSV23 every 5 years. Some experts recommend an interval of 3 years between PPSV23 doses for children with sickle cell disease.
