Pneumococcal Vaccine

This is new vaccine that recently being introduced in here. My daughter had already vaccinated by this. It’s very expensive. I guessed because it’s new.

What is Pneumococcal Vaccine?
The pneumococcal vaccine (or pneumo vaccine for short) protects against pneumococcal infection.
This infection can cause diseases such as pneumonia,septicaemia and meningitis.
Children are offered pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) at two, four and 13 months, with people who are 65 and over being routinely offered pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) to protect against pneumococcal disease.

However, the other day, my friend, who is a Doctor just told me that there is a speculation that this vaccine can caused Autism. Not sure whether that is true or not.
