Good day house. Pls for a child that didn't take Bcg; Hbv and opv0 at birth and is now 15days old; what vaccines should be administered to him. Am a bit confused because I was informed that he shouldn't take HBV and OPVo.. only bcg shld be given. |

There is a term referred to as. "missed opportunity" which denotes the vaccine given to a child who has not been vaccinated for age as outlined in the NPI schedule. What is done is that ALL the vaccines missed are given irrespective of the age according to the NPI schedule and at the standard intervals prescribed. However, yellow fever and measles vaccine are given promptly since the child is already above 9 months. Note that there should be no contraindication to any of the vaccines or history of such in the family. |
