The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends all babies be vaccinated against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) before age 2

headline2
content

The CDC recommends vaccination against IPD for all children younger than 2 years old because young children are at greater risk for IPD. PREVNAR 20 is approved by the FDA to help protect your baby against IPD.

Give your baby the broadest strain coverage against 20 different strains of the bacteria that cause IPD. Stick to the CDC-recommended dosing schedule for pneumococcal vaccination—get your baby vaccinated at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months old—to help strengthen your baby’s immune response to IPD.

IPD can have potentially serious side effects, but you can help protect your baby with PREVNAR 20.
