Your baby needs all 4 doses of PREVNAR 20® on time to help get the most protection against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD)

Make sure your baby gets each dose of Prevnar 20® on time

content

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.

Vaccines that your baby gets at their checkups can keep them safe by helping to prevent diseases. Babies who haven’t gotten all their vaccinations are at higher risk of getting a disease that, in serious cases, could lead to a hospital stay.
