My father-in-law's a doctor and recommended it for our entire family when it
came out when our twins were little. I never got around to getting mine but
my husband and 3 kids did and I don't think anyone's had an ear infection,
even my daughter with Down syndrome which makes her more vulnerable to them
because her ear canals are so small.

Hi,
I've been lurking here since my second daughter was born 5 weeks ago. We
just had our one month appointment and our doctor gave us a pamphlet on
Prevnar, and said that we should get it done for both our girls (oldest is
2.5). I'd like to make an informed decision before blindly agreeing. I'm
just wondering what others opinions are.
TIA,
Allie
