Posology: The primary vaccination schedule consists of three doses in the first 6 months of life and can start from the age of 6 weeks.
To ensure a long term protection, a booster dose is recommended in the second year of life.
Infants between the ages of 6 and 12 months previously unvaccinated should receive 2 injections, given with an interval of one month, followed by a booster in the second year of life. Previously unvaccinated children aged 1-5 years should be given one dose of vaccine.
As vaccination schemes vary from country to country, the schedule for each country may be used in accordance with the different national recommendations.
Method of administration: The reconstituted vaccine is for intramuscular injection. However, it is good clinical practice that in patients with thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorders the vaccine should be administered subcutaneously.
