  3 Two doses should be given 3 months apart.

  4 Give 3-dose series at 0, 1–2, and 6mos.

  5 Give 1 dose of PCV13, followed by 1 dose of PPSV23 at least 8wks later. The second dose of PPSV23 should be given at least 5yrs after the first PPSV23 dose. If the most recent PPSV23 was given before 65yrs, at age 65yrs or older, give another PPSV23 dose at least 5yrs after the last PPSV23 dose. Pneumococcal vaccines should be given as soon as possible after HIV diagnosis.

  6 Give to adults with a specific risk factor, or lack a risk factor but want protection. 2-dose series (single-antigen HepA vaccine): Havrix at 0 and 6–12mos or Vaqta at 0 and 6–18mos. 3-dose series (combined HepA-HepB vaccine): Twinrix at 0, 1, and 6mos.
