if it has been left ...u can start at any age . 1 year to 2 year of age then 2 doses 8 weeks apart. and if child.is above 2 years then single dose is sufficient. in my opinion u can choose single dose at 2 years ..which would save your money ..but remember there are many pneumococcal vaccine available from which always prefer PCV13.
