dc.description.abstract | General recommendations: Administration of vaccines in accordance with the immunization schedules summarized in the following tables will provide optimal protection from vaccine preventable diseases for most individuals. However, modifications of the recommended schedule may be necessary due to missed appointments or illness. In general, interruption of an immunization series does not require restarting the vaccine series, regardless of the interval between doses. Individuals with interrupted immunization schedules should be vaccinated to complete the appropriate schedule for their current age. Refer to Timing of vaccine administration in Part 1 and vaccine-specific chapters in Part 4 for additional information. Similar, but not identical, vaccines may be available from different manufacturers; therefore, it is useful to review the relevant vaccine-specific chapters in the Canadian Immunization Guide as well as the manufacturer's product leaflet or product monograph before administering a vaccine. Refer to Principles of vaccine interchangeability in Part 1 for information about the interchangeability of similar vaccines from different manufacturers. Product monographs are periodically updated; it is a best practice to consult the information contained within the product monographs available through Health Canada's Drug Product Database. | |
