I'm working on a critical thinking exercise regarding a 6-month-old infant who has had no immunizations except Hep B given at birth. Can this infant receive her second Hep B vaccination at age 6 months? I reviewed the information on the CDC website "late schedule", but it is a little vague:
The HepB series should be completed with either monovalent HepB or
a combination vaccine containing HepB. The second dose should be
administered at age 1-2 months. The final dose should be administered
at age
≥24 weeks.
