Vaccination
I gave my baby Penta 2 vaccine today from Government hospital. PCV-1 was missed last month So they said today they can't give PCV2 since PCV1 was missed. When can I give PCV 1 and PCV 2 vaccine? Also are these both different vaccines or same? Please help

Pcv 1 and 2 are the same vaccine and the numbers just mean 1st dose and 2nd dose. Please visit a pediatrician for these vaccines as they available easily but at a cost

Both are same vaccine.
Can give PCV vaccine now or as early as possible as it protects against Pneumonia.
