Footnotes:
- Vaccination with PCV15 as soon as possible after the age of 6 weeks, and no later than the age of 3 months. Second dose is given 8 weeks after the first dose, and third dose at the age of 11–15 months (at the earliest 6 months after the second dose). For children without specific indications, vaccination is not recommended after the age of 5.

- Vaccination recommended and free of charge for people aged 60 and over and for certain high-risk individuals aged 18 and over. Persons aged 60 years and older who have previously been vaccinated with another pneumococcal vaccine should receive a single dose of PCV21 after approximately 1 year for broader serotype coverage. Even if they have previously been vaccinated sequentially (PCV13/PCV15/PCV20 followed by PPV23), a single booster dose of PCV21 should be given, with the recommended interval being at least 1 year (for PCV13/15 followed by PPV23) and no more than 6 years (PCV20 followed by PPV23) after the last dose.
