Patient's question:
The baby is just six months old because of the previous cough, the second dose of DTP wasn't given, and the third dose of polio vaccine wasn't given either. Today, we went to the hospital to get vaccinated, but the doctor said the baby is six months old and should get the hepatitis B vaccine first. Is this okay? Isn't the vaccination schedule supposed to be in order?Doctor's answer:
According to your description: The hepatitis B vaccine is administered according to the recommendation of 0, 1, 6. Generally, two vaccines can be administered simultaneously. If there is a break, there needs to be 10 days. Some planned vaccines are given to several children at once, meaning the dose of one vaccine, for example, is for 5 or 10 people. The vaccine can be administered in any order, but it must be completed within a certain period. Therefore, for children's preventive injections, parents must pay attention, as it is crucial for the child.
