One of our team administered PCV13 and PPSV23 at the same visit to a 5-year-old child who is immunocompromised. We know the PPSV23 was supposed to be administered at least 8 weeks later. We are looking for guidance for what to do now.
PCV vaccines and PPSV23 should not be administered at the same visit or at an interval less than 8 weeks.
In children, if PCV13 and PPSV23 are administered at the same visit, the PCV13 dose should be repeated, and should be administered no earlier than 8 weeks after doses that were administered on the same day. However, in adults, if a PCV and PPSV23 are administered at the same visit or at an interval less than 8 weeks, CDC recommends that neither dose needs to be repeated.
