Your baby needs all 4 doses of PREVNAR 20® on time to help get the most protection against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD)
After the 4th dose, your baby’s immunity will be higher than it is after the 3rd dose. If your baby gets less than 4 doses, they may be at greater risk of developing IPD than if they had been fully vaccinated.
All 4 doses of PREVNAR 20 work with the body’s natural defenses to help your baby develop immunity to 20 strains of bacteria that cause IPD.
*May be given as early as 6 weeks of age.
†The 4th dose should be given when your child is
12-15 months of age and at least 2 months after
the 3rd dose.

To be sure that you and your baby’s doctor have done what you can to help protect your baby, one of the best things you can do is go to all your baby’s checkups. When you miss checkups, you may miss important vaccinations against diseases like IPD.
