The thirteen-valent vaccine is different for different age groups. It is usually administered to infants and young children between the ages of six months and fifteen months, and requires four injections, while children over the age of two only need to be vaccinated once, usually in the upper part of the arm.
The thirteen-valent vaccine is mainly used for the prevention of pneumonia, pneumococcus is easy to appear in the nasopharyngeal area, mainly in infants and young children, most of them are transmitted through the droplets, so it is more likely to lead to the human body to develop pneumonia, infants and young children’s immune function has not been developed perfectly, so in order to prevent pneumonia, generally need to be vaccinated with thirteen-valent vaccine, which can effectively minimize the emergence of the disease.
The thirteen-valent vaccine is mainly injected for infants and children. Infants and young children between the ages of six and fifteen months need to be injected four times, and four injections are given at different times to complete the whole immunization process, because infants and young children’s immunity is relatively low, so if they are injected only once, the effect may not be good, but if they are two years of age or older, they can be vaccinated with only one injection, which is usually injected in the upper portion of the arm.
At the same time, it should be noted that after the vaccine should be observed for about 15-20 minutes, if there is no abnormality you can go back, but if there is any abnormality, you should immediately find a doctor to solve the problem.
