Recommendations for Adults

Should adults younger than age 50 with high-risk conditions who have already received PCV13, but not PPSV23, now get one of the newer pneumococcal vaccines?

Adults that received PCV13 should complete the pneumococcal series with PCV20 or PCV21 vaccination at least 1 year after PCV13. PCV15 and PPSV23 are not recommended in this situation.
