The new vaccine will cost $108 per dose, up 35 percent from $80. With four injections needed to complete the vaccine dosing, uninsured families would have to pay $432 out of pocket for Prevnar 13.

That does not sit well with many doctors. Even though the vaccine has not changed, the price of the current version, Prevnar 13 (it protects against 13 strains), has gone up an average of 6 percent each year since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2010.
