If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of PPSV23 (Pneumovax23) at least one year later. Or, if you’ve previously received a PPSV23 shot, you should get one dose of PCV15 or PCV20 at least one year later. Medicare Part B also covers two diff erent pneumococcal shots – the fi rst shot at any time and a diff erent, second shot if it’s given at least one year after the fi rst shot.
