Wyeth Pharmaceutical Inc. now has Prevnar (PCV7) available. ACIP is recommending the full 4-dose schedule for infants and young children.

Please take this opportunity to get your patients caught up, if their 4th dose of Prevnar was deferred during the shortage.

Opportunities to catch up include:

• Coming in for flu shot
• Older siblings in for back to school checkup
• Well baby/child visits

For more information contact Clifford Pumphrey, NM’s Wyeth representative, (972) 393-2823.
