• Pneumococcal
  • Adults who have had PCV13

Now that we have PCV15, PCV20, and PCV21, is any adult still recommended to receive multiple doses of PPSV23?

No. As of October 2024, CDC recommends that adults with immunocompromising conditions who received a dose of PPSV23 in the past and were previously recommended to receive a second PPSV23 dose at least 5 years after that initial PPSV23 dose should now complete their pneumococcal immunization schedule with PCV20 or PCV21 at least 5 years after the PPSV23 dose.
