Vaccinebox Changed status to publish May 6, 2020
According to india’s UIP, 2 primary doses of PCV at 6 and 14 weeks of age followed by a booster dose at 9 months. In private, doctors give 3 primary doses followed by a booster dose.
Government provides these vaccines for free and free things are always given according to bare minimum necessity. If you are going to a government center, they will give 2 doses only, but if you happen to visit a private practitioner, he will emphasize on giving 3 doses. Both are fine and will provide the required immunity to your child.
