Get Catch-up Immunization Schedule

Two or more injectable or nasally administered live vaccines not administered on the same day should be separated by at least 4 weeks (Table 3-4), to minimize the potential risk for interference.

Is there any danger from receiving extra doses of a vaccine? Most of the time, your risk of serious side effects does not increase if you get extra doses of a vaccine. Getting extra doses of oral vaccines, such as rotavirus or typhoid, is not known to cause any problems.

Number of doses a child should have received Use that number of doses as the starting point for calculating a catch-up schedule. For example, a child who is 18 months old now should have received 3 doses of DTPa (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis), 3 doses of IPV vaccine, and so on.

A fourth dose of IPV is indicated if all previous doses were administered at <4 years or if the third dose was administered <6 months after the second dose. 3 months if younger than age 13 years. 4 weeks if age 13 years or older. Administer recommended vaccines if immunization history is incomplete or unknown.

4-Dose Vaccine Series for Children and Adults (Accelerated) Engerix-B (GlaxoSmithKline) is a 3-dose vaccine that can be given on an accelerated, four-dose schedule, with 3 shots administered within 2 months, and a booster dose at 1 year to provide maximum long-term protection.
