Pcv stands for pneumococcal vaccine. Pneumococcus causes several serious infections and the vaccine is a good inurance policy. There are 2 different brands available. The cheaper one costs just 1400 rupees.

Every vaccine is compulsory if it is providing protection to your child. This vaccine prevents child from 3 dreadful diseases like pneumonia; meningitis; otitis media and sepsis. If affortability is not the criteria you go for this vaccination either of the 2 vaccinations as my colleague has mentioned.
