We have a 4-month-old baby who is due for his pneumococcal immnuziation, but we're out of the country right now, and won't be back anytime soon. Can someone tell me where I can purchase the pneumococcal vaccine, preferrably online, so that I can take the vaccine to a local hospital and have the pediatrics here inject it for us.
Many thanks!

I checked, and local hospitals do not have pneumococcal. That's why I'm looking for other ways to get it for my baby.

Go to the local hospital.

I never considered the possibility of being able to purchase them yourself. I would probably contact Center for Disease Control, you can probably do that online. They can give you the information on this.
Being out of the country the risk may be higher than normal for your child. It would certainly be important to find out about. I take it they do not offer this vaccine where you are?

even overseas they should have that. call a local pediatrician or hospital and ask if they have it there.
