Is It Fine If Instead Of Original Synflorix, Prevnar13 Is Given?

My baby received her first and second dose of pneumococcal vaccine (Synflorix). This is supposed to be her 3rd dose of PCV. However, the original doctor gave her Synflorix while the new doctor used Prevnar13 as 3rd dose. Because of this any problem will come for child. please help. Thanks!!
