To pick up from where the schedule was left off. 4) Why is it not adviced to clean the injection site with spirit swab before vaccination? Some of the live components of vaccines are killed when comes in contact with spirit 5) Why should there be a minimum gap of 4 weeks between two doses of DPT? Decreasing the interval between two doses may not obtain optimal antibody production for protection.
UNIVERSAL IMMUNIzATION PROGRAM(cont.) 6)Why give the DPT vaccine in the antero-lateral mid thigh and not the gluteal region ? To prevent damage to the sciatic nerve and moreover vaccine deposited fat of gluteal region does not invoke the appropriate immune response. 7)What should one do if the child is found allergic to DPT or develops encephalopathy after DPT ? Should be given the DTaP/DT vaccine instead of DPT for the remaining doses.
UNIVERSAL IMMUNIzATION PROGRAM(cont.) 8) If a child has received the measles vaccine before 9 months of age, is it necessary to repeat the vaccine later?

To maintain uniformity and for helping surveyors in verifying the receipt of the vaccine. 11)Why do we give 0.05 ml dose of BCG to newborns(below 1 month of age) ? Skin of newborns is thin and an intradermal injection of 0.1 ml may break the skin or penetrate into the deeper tissue causing local abscess and enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Dose of 0.05ml is sufficient to elicit adequate protection. 12)If no scar appears after administering BCG, should one re-vaccinate the child ? No need to re-vaccinate the child.
