Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My daughter received a dose of BCG vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine at birth. According to the schedule, she should have received another dose of hepatitis B vaccine after one full month. However, due to my daughter's surgery, she stayed in the hospital for over a month. Now, I would like to ask the following:(1) Will there be any impact if she receives a dose of hepatitis B vaccine after two full months, and what will the effect be?
(2) Should the third dose of hepatitis B vaccine still be administered after six full months?
(3) Can she receive a dose of polio oral vaccine on the same day she gets the hepatitis B vaccine at two full months?
I hope the expert can provide a reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
?Hello, the vaccination schedule for this hepatitis B vaccine is administered in three doses at 0, 1, and 6 months. Hello, according to your description, your second vaccination time was significantly delayed by one month, which will affect the efficacy.
