A 9-month-old infant is brought to you for immunization. The infant has previously received the first dose of OPV and DPT. What will you do?
Correct Answer: Give the infant a booster dose of DPT/polio
Description: A lapse in the schedule of immunization does not necessitate reinstitution of the total course. If the second or third dose of DPT or OPV was missed or delayed,there is no need of giving all the three doses of primary vaccination schedule.
