You have to give 3 doses every one month interval and then 4th is booster dose at 1.5 years of age. There are synflorix and prevenar 2 brands available for pcv in which synflorix is cheaper then prevenar.

Synflorix is cheaper brand of pcv, baby at 2 months requires 3 doses followed by 1 booster dose. Synflorix is pcv10, protects against 10 bacteria, prevenar is pcv13, protects against 13 bacteria but prevenar is costly. If affordability is not a issue, go for prevenar.

Number of doses of pcv depends on when the first dose is given. Your baby requires 3 doses of pcv at one month interval, and one booster dose at 15 months. Synflorix and prevnar are the two brands available. The former is cheaper. However, the latter gives protection against more strains of the pathogen. Make sure that atleast one of the vaccines is given so that the baby is protected against pneumonia and ear infections.
