Is PPSV recommended for all children?

Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) is generally not recommended for all children. It is primarily indicated for children aged 2 years and older who are at increased risk for pneumococcal disease due to certain medical conditions. The routine vaccination schedule for children typically involves the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) instead. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the appropriate vaccination based on individual health needs.
