Who should get the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine?
The PCV is recommended for all children under the age of 2 years, as they are at the highest risk for severe pneumococcal disease. It is also recommended for adults aged 65 years and older and for individuals aged 2 through 64 years with certain medical conditions or risk factors, such as chronic heart, lung, or liver diseases, diabetes, or immunocompromising conditions.
