A healthy 43-day-old infant comes in for a health care maintenance visit. What is the minimum age for vaccines? Would you give vaccines today? Why or why not? If the family planned on traveling to Pakistan in one week, would that change your decision? How do you respond to a family?

Solutions

Expert Solution

There are three vaccines which are given as soon as the baby is born.

BCG- Becillus Calmette Guerin.

OPV-. Oral Polio Vaccine

HEPATITIS B.

A healthy 43 day old infant comes in for a health care maintenance visit today HEPATITIS B 2nd dose l would give.

Hepatitis B vaccine side effects vary from one person to the next. Mild side effects usually last only a day or two. Fever, sore throat, dizziness, headache. Redness, swelling,or itching at the injection site.

So if the family planned on traveling to Pakistan in one week there should not be a problem. Next vaccination is after 60 day.
