Question
A baby was discharged from our hospital on 3rd day of life after being completely immunized for hepatitis B, BCG and OPV. He went to a village where he lives, but due to some reason not known, he was re-vaccinated with same three vaccine just after 2 days. What will be the outcome? What should be done? When does the 2nd dose of hepatitis B needs to be given?
Answer
Since he has been re-vaccinated within 2 days, the second vaccine should not be counted as it will have no major effect. Now the chances of developing immunity may be affected. Hence one may have to watch for BCG scar and if he does not develop it by 6 months, a mantoux test followed by BCG should be given. Regarding Hepatitis B and OPV, one should follow the schedule as recommended.
