What dosing intervals should be observed when giving PCV15 and PPSV23 to high-risk children who are recommended to receive either PCV20 alone or PCV15 followed by PPSV23?

Give PCV15 first, at least 8 weeks after the most recent dose of PCV, followed by PPSV23 at least 8 weeks later. PCV15 and PPSV23 should not be given at the same visit. If a child has already received PPSV23, wait at least 8 weeks before giving PCV15 or PCV20 to the child.
