Q

Principle #5

Vaccine doses should not be adminstered at intervals less than the minimum intervals or earlier than the minimum age.

Doses administered too close together or at too young an age can lead to a

A

suboptimal immune response

55
Q

Accelerated schedules can be used

A

Catch-up immunization in children behind schedule
Impending international travel
Should not be used routinely

56
Q

Exception to minimum intervals and minimum age

A

Measles during measles outbreak
Original: 9 months
May be administered as early as 6 months of age

Dose should be repeated at 12 months of age or older

Vaccine doses given up to 4 days before the minimum interval or age are counted as valid -> “The Grace Period”

Does not apply to rabies vaccine

57
Q

If minimum age or interval of vaccination has been violated -> dose is

A

invalid

Action:
A repeat dose should be administered for at least a minimum interval from the invalid dose

58
Q

Principle #6

Increasing the interval between doses of a multidose vaccine does not diminish the effectiveness of vaccine

Decreasing the interval between doses of a multidose vaccine may interfere with antibody response and protection

A

Lapsed immunization will not reduce final response to vaccine.

There is no need to re-start a series of give additional doses, do catch-up immunization.
