Can A Missed Vaccination Of Dtwp B1 Be Continued The Next Month?
Question: My 18 months old daughter was having scheduled Vaccination for Dtwp B1/Dtap B1, IPV B1, Hib-B1 and Hep-A2. Unfortunately we missed it and tomorrow she is going to be 19 months old.
Is that fine to give those vaccinations now or all the dosage of Vaccination will be given. Till how many +/- scheduled date we can give any Vaccination.

Brief Answer:
Do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but do not worry. You may give all the scheduled doses i.e. DTwP B1/DTaP B1,IPV B1, Hib B1, Hep A2 now. You may give these doses any time after 16 months of age. Preferably any vaccination should be done as scheduled to keep the child completely protected in the intermediate period and period thereafter. But there is no harm if you missed it for a few months if the child is healthy, it can always be continued from the point you left.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
