Introduction

Parents should generally pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits in children, such as frequent handwashing and avoiding close contact with individuals who have respiratory infections, to reduce the risk of infection. At the same time, they should stay informed about their child's vaccination schedule and ensure timely immunization, including the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine, to provide comprehensive protection for the child's healthy development.

In general, the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine can be administered to individuals aged 2 years and older. The detailed explanation is as follows:

The recommendation of age 2 years and above for the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine is based on a comprehensive consideration of the vaccine's safety, efficacy, and the developmental characteristics of children's immune systems. Children aged 2 years and older have relatively mature immune systems, enabling them to mount a more effective immune response to the vaccine and produce sufficient antibodies to protect against infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Additionally, children in this age group are increasingly exposed to external environments and face higher risks of infection; therefore, receiving the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of developing severe diseases caused by pneumococcal bacteria.

Parents should also help maintain good hygiene habits in children, such as frequent handwashing and avoiding close contact with individuals who have respiratory infections, to minimize infection risks. At the same time, parents should stay informed about their child’s vaccination schedule and ensure timely administration of all recommended vaccines, including the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine, to provide comprehensive protection for healthy childhood development.
