previous history of vaccination with pneumococcal vaccines. Once a dose of PPSV23 was
given at age [AGE] years or older, no additional doses of PPSV23 should be administered;
-For those age [AGE] years or older who had not received any pneumococcal vaccines, or
those with unknown vaccination history, administer one dose of PCV13. Administer one dose
of PPSV23 at least one year later for most adults or at least eight weeks later for adults
with immunocompromising conditions;
-For those age [AGE] years or older who previously received one dose of PPSV23 and no
