Sii HibPro Vaccine Health Feed

Yes the missed vaccine can be given as catch up vaccine. Give your child 2 doses at interval of 4 to 8 weeks followed by single dose every 5 years.
Best wishes

You have to take one dose in first 3 moths and a second dose in 6 months .The WHO also recommends that a third vaccine be given six months after the second dose to provide protection for at least five years.

Most studies have shown effectiveness for 10 years in majority of people. Hence Tetanus vaccine is recommended once every 10 years, as long as one has received the primary doses of 4 vaccines in childhood.
A severe injury or large wound would warrant earlier vaccination along with use of Tetanus Immunoglobulin.
Minor injuries need not be occasions to repeat the Tetanus Injection. Definitely not 4 times in 6 months.

Dear Lybrateuser,
- tt should be preferably taken within 48 hrs of the wound, if the wound has been cleaned with antiseptic solution & healed then tt is not required
- complete the full course of anti rabies vaccine which you are taking.

The current guidelines suggest to take primary vaccination like bcg/ easysix/pentavac/ mmr on priority basis on time
Precaution to b taken is to inform prior to visiting hospital n avoid crowding.
Booster vaccination can b delayed

It is not compulsory and is optional and protects from certain types of pneumococcus bacteria There are currently two types of pneumococcal vaccines: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23).

There are more than 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria. PCV13 protects against 13 types and PPSV23 protects against 23 types. Both vaccines provide protection against illnesses like meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain and spinal cord) and...more

No you don't need to take again. Just clean the wound and do proper daily dressing with betadine ointment.

Hello, Lybrate user, I being a homoeopath can suggest a good homoeopathic anti chicken pox (prophylactic) medicine.@ Variollinum 30-6 pills -6 pills 1 dose 3 days.
Tk, care.

Yes you can there are two kinds currently available in the market. Synflorix and prevenar.
Synflorix protects against 10 bacteria cost 1400
prevenar against 13 bacterial infection cost 4000.
Choice is yours.

Vaccination should have been taken immediately after dog bite. There is no point in taking vaccine now. However you can take 3 doses of pre exposure prophylaxis against future dog bite and two doses of post exposure vaccine after dog bite in future. Consult physician for further advice.
