How should live vaccines be given?
How should live vaccines be given?
The vaccine antigen should be administered at a site distant from where the immune globulin was injected. Live, attenuated vaccines must replicate to produce an immune response. Antibody against injected live vaccine antigen may interfere with replication.
Can you give live vaccines together?
Vaccination should not be deferred because multiple vaccines are needed. All live vaccines (MMR, varicella, live attenuated influenza, yellow fever, and oral typhoid) can be given at the same visit if indicated. If live vaccines are not administered during the same visit, they should be separated by 4 weeks or more.
How far apart do live vaccines need to be?
Live vaccines can be given on the same day. If they are not given on the same day, they should be separated by a minimum 4-week interval, because the immune response to one of the vaccines might be impaired.
Where does the Covid vaccine get injected in the body?
Administering Vaccine The injection site is approximately 2 inches below the acromion process and above the axillary fold/armpit.
Why do you have to wait 4 weeks between live vaccines?
How long should you wait between live vaccines?
Two or more injectable or nasally administered live vaccines not administered on the same day should be separated by at least 4 weeks (Table 3-3), to minimize the potential risk for interference.
Can you give live and inactive vaccines together?
There is no evidence that inactivated vaccines interfere with the immune response to other inactivated vaccines or to live vaccines. Any inactivated vaccine can be administered either simultaneously or at any time before or after a different inactivated vaccine or live vaccine (Table 3-3).
How do you inject Covid vaccine?
Administering Vaccine Administer the vaccine. Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle into the middle and thickest part of the muscle and inject all the vaccine.
