Hep B Vaccine - Late Schedule

Published

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.
