Birth

A group of 5 vaccines is given (RV5, Hib, PCV13, Dtap, IPV). The 2nd dose of the HepB vaccine may be due as well.

=======
The group of 5 vaccines is repeated. No other vaccines are usually given at this time.

The group of 5 vaccines is repeated again, with the addition of the influenza vaccine. The 3rd dose of the HepB vaccine may also be due.

Between 12th and 15th months
====================
The Hib, pnuemoccocal, MMR, and varicella vaccines are routinely given. The other vaccines that may potentially be given include HepB, DTap, influenza, and HepA.

Between the 4th and 6th year
=====================
DTap, the polio vaccine, MMR, and the varicella vaccines are all routinely given. As well, the influenza vaccine is also recommended during this time.


HepB = Hepatitis B vaccine
RV5 = Rotavirus vaccine
Hib = Haemophilus influenza type b vaccine
PCV13 = 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

Hepatitis B: Routine and Catch-up Schedule

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQr_gS_X6So


Routine Schedule
===========
The 1st dose of the hepatitis B vaccine is given at birth. It is the only vaccine that is given at this time.
The 1st dose may be delayed until 1 month of life if the infant is preterm and the mother is hepatitis B surface antigen negative.

The 2nd dose is given between the 1st and 2nd month.
If the 1st dose was delayed, then the 2nd dose should be given no sooner than 4 weeks after the 1st.

The 3rd dose is given between the 6th and 18th month.
At least 8 weeks should separate the 2nd and 3rd dose.


Catch-up Schedule
============
If a patient only receives part of the 3-dose HepB series, they may complete the series at any time. They do NOT need to start the series over again from the beginning.

After the 1st dose is administered, at least 4 weeks should pass before the 2nd dose is given.

The 3rd dose should be given no sooner than 8 weeks after the 2nd dose, with two additional caveats.
The 1st and 3rd dose should be separated by at least 16 weeks.
The patient should be at least 24 weeks old.

While not all of this information needs to be crammed, it is hard to discern exactly what is testable information. I have seen qbank questions where the vignette describes the developmental level of a child and then asks which vaccines would be given at that time. In those cases, it is helpful to know the most easily tested information (e.g., vaccines given at the 4th month visit).
