Typical dosage for Prevnar 20

Prevnar 20 is given as an injection into the muscle by a healthcare provider. It's given into the thigh muscle for babies and young children and into the shoulder muscle for older children and adults.

Dosing schedules for vaccinations can be very confusing, so be sure to ask your provider or pharmacist about timing, planning, and scheduling your Prevnar 20 vaccine dose(s).

  • Routine vaccination for children ages 6 weeks to 15 months: Routine vaccination consists of 4 doses. It's given as 1 injection at age 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 12 though 15 months. The first dose can be given as early as 6 weeks of age.

  • Catch-up vaccination for children who've never received a pneumococcal vaccine

    • Ages 7 to 11 months: Catch-up consists of 3 injections. The first two injections are given at least 1 month apart from each other. The third injection is given after your child turns 1 year old (must be at least 2 months after the second injection).
    • Ages 1 to under 2 years: Catch-up consists of 2 injections given at least 2 months apart from each other.
    • Ages 2 years to 17 years: Catch-up consists of 1 injection of Prevnar 20 given at any time.
