The fourth (4th) dose is not needed if the third (3rd) dose is given on or after the fourth (4th) birthday. If all four (4) doses are given after six (6) weeks of age and are all separated by at least four (4) weeks, a fifth (5th) dose is not needed, even if the fourth (4th) dose was administered before four (4) years of age.

3 Healthy children between ages two (2) and (4) years that have not completed a series of PCV should receive one (1) dose. Children with risk factors should receive one (1) or two (2) doses of PCV, if they have not already completed the four (4)-dose series.
