Navigate Pneumococcal Vaccines for Children
May 2024
There’s more focus on 15-valent (Vaxneuvance) and 20-valent (Prevnar 20) pneumococcal vaccines in kids due to updated guidance.
These vaccines are both conjugate vaccines like Prevnar 13, but cover more pneumococcal serotypes that cause invasive disease...with comparable tolerability to Prevnar 13 in kids.
Vaxneuvance and Prevnar 20 are now approved in kids 6 weeks to 17 years. And cost is comparable...about $105/dose for Vaxneuvance...$110 for Prevnar 20...or $100 for Prevnar 13.
