What is the recommended pneumococcal vaccination for individuals with Sickle Cell and Asplenia aged 19-64 years?

PCV20 x1
PCV15 x1, then PPSV23 x1 >/=8 weeks later
Hep A and B
MenB (Bexsero, Trumenba)

The correct answer is: PCV15 x1, then PPSV23 x1 >/=8 weeks later

For individuals with Sickle Cell and Asplenia aged 19-64 years, the recommended pneumococcal vaccination protocol is PCV15 x1 followed by PPSV23 x1 at least 8 weeks later. This two-step vaccination approach helps provide broader protection against various strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae that can cause serious infections in this high-risk population. Option A (PCV20 x1), Option C (Hepatitis A and B), and Option D (MenB vaccines) are not the recommended vaccines for this specific patient population and age group.
