• Pneumococcal
  • Recommendations for Adults

My patient received PCV13 over a year ago and is due for PPSV23, but my clinic only has PCV20. What do I do?

Administer the PCV20. CDC recommendations are to provide a dose of PCV20 or PPSV23 in this situation.

No future doses of any pneumococcal vaccine are currently recommended following a dose of PCV20, even if the patient is younger than age 65.
