Common Questions About
Hepatitis B Vaccine
• If a baby was not given HepB
within 24 hours birth dose, until
when can we give HepB
vaccine?
08
Common Questions About
Hepatitis B Vaccine
• We can give HepB to a baby until
the age of 7 days.
• This dose shall be recorded
under the more than 24 hours
column in the EPI TCL.
09
Common Questions About
BCG
• Formation of scar
- It is neither necessary nor the
only indication of success of BCG
vaccine.
10
Common Questions About
BCG
• Formation of scar
- If no scar is visible at all after
6 months, one need to to Mantoux
Test.
- if (-) MT, BCG should be
repeated.

Common Questions About
Pentavalent Vaccine
• Can we give it to older children?
- Target age group is 1 ½ months
to 11 months.
12
WINTER
Template
Common Questions About
Pentavalent Vaccine
- In cases where a child received
his/her Penta1 at age 10months,
Penta2 at 11months, he/she may still
be given the Penta3 at 12 months to
complete the recommended doses.
13
WINTER
Template
Common Questions About
Pentavalent Vaccine
- It shall not be given to children
2 years old and above because the
risk for AEFI is higher.

Common Questions About
Inactivated Polio Vaccine
• It shall be administered together
with the 3rd
dose of OPV.
What if a health worker forgot to give
one dose of IPV to a child who
received his OPV3 today?
17
Common Questions About
Inactivated Polio Vaccine
• The missed dose of IPV can still be
given.
However, the policy on the
administration of IPV together with
OPV3 is to ensure that the child will
get an optimum immune response.
18
Common Questions About
Contraindications for SC Immunization
• Severe anaphylactic reactions to
previous PPV23 or flu vaccine
• Severe allergic reactions to egg &
egg products (egg proteins),
chicken feathers
• Severe allergic reaction to latex
gloves, antibiotics such as
neomycin or polymyxin

General Principles
• It is SAFE and
IMMUNOLOGICALLY
EFFECTIVE to administer all
EPI vaccines on the same day at
different sites of the body
21
General Principles
• Only the diluent supplied by the
manufacturer should be used to
reconstitute a freeze-dried
vaccine.
22
General Principles
• The diluents may be stored
outside the cold chain BUT
• Keep diluents for at least 24
hours before use in ILR to
ensure that vaccines & diluents
are at same temperature when
being reconstituted.
23
General Principles
• The diluents may be stored
outside the cold chain BUT
• Keep diluents for at least 24
hours before use in ILR to
ensure that vaccines & diluents
are at same temperature when
being reconstituted.
24
General Principles
• Use of conditioned ice packs
must be practiced.
25
General Principles
• Conditioned ice packs
- Keep them out of freezer to allow
them to “sweat” and cracking
sound of water would be heard on
shaking the ice packs.
- This will protect “T” series
vaccines from getting frozen.
26
General Principles
• Do not use saline water or add
salt for filling.
• Never use day carrier containing
two (2) ice packs.
27
General Principles
• A combination of FIFO & FEFO
vaccine system is practiced to
assure that all vaccines are
utilized before its expiry date.
28
General Principles
Lapsed Vaccination Schedule
• Health workers are encouraged
to administer vaccines as close to
the recommended intervals as
possible.
29
General Principles
Lapsed Vaccination Schedule
• If the vaccination schedule is
interrupted, it is not necessary to
restart. Instead, the schedule
should be resumed using minimal
intervals between doses to catch
up as quickly as possible.
30
General Principles
• If records cannot be located,
after everything was done, the
child should be considered
susceptible and should be started
on the age-appropriate
vaccination schedule.
Unknown or Uncertain
Vaccination Status
31
General Principles
• Health workers should adhere as
closely as possible to
recommended vaccination
schedule.
Spacing of multiple doses of
the same antigen
32
General Principles
• Administration at recommended
ages and in accordance with
recommended intervals between
doses of multi-dose antigens
provide optimal protection.
Spacing of multiple doses of
the same antigen
33
General Principles
• Doses administered TOO CLOSE
together or at TOO YOUNG can
lead to a sub-optimal immune
response.
Spacing of multiple doses of the
same antigen
34
General Principles
• However, administering a dose
few days earlier the minimum
interval or age is unlikely to have
a substantially negative effect on
the immune response to that
dose.
Spacing of multiple doses of
the same antigen
35
General Principles
• Doses of any vaccine
administered >5 days earlier than
the minimum interval or age
should not be counted as valid
doses and should be repeated as
age appropriate.
Spacing of multiple doses of the
same antigen
36
General Principles
• The repeat dose should be
spaced after the invalid dose by
the recommended interval.
Spacing of multiple doses of
the same antigen
37
General Principles
• Cotton balls wet with saline /
distilled water instead of alcohol
shall be used to prepare the
injection site.

3. Incinerator
42
Proper disposal of Unused
Vaccines
1. Vaccines containing live microbes.
These are BCG, OPV, and MCV.
When disposing of live vaccines, the
live microbes in the vaccine has to be
destroyed first by autoclaving, burning
or boiling for 5-10 minutes.
43
Proper disposal of Unused
Vaccines
1. Vaccines containing live microbes.
The vaccine microbes are easily
destroyed with disinfecting solutions
such as 1% chloramine & hypochlorite.
Opened vaccine vials for disposal can
be placed in a disinfecting solution
which has to be replaced everyday.
