On June 17, FDA expanded Capvaxive (PCV21, Merck) to children and adolescents age 2–17 at increased IPD risk after a primary pediatric PCV series—the same population currently eligible for PPSV23. PCV21 remains recommended for adults age 50+ and high-risk adults 18–49, but not for primary infant series (PCV15 or PCV20). FDA approval letter and package insert PDFs on HCP Vaccine Updates.
