* Hepatitis B vaccine should be given to all infants as soon as practicable after birth. The greatest benefit is if given within 24 hours, and must be given within 7 days.
** Total of 3 doses of Hep B required following the birth dose, at either 2, 4 and 6 months (in Infanrix Hexa). There is no catch up required if the birth dose is not given.
*** This vaccine is for one cohort in this age range and should only be given if there is no prior history of disease or vaccination. In other words, only one school grade. Contact the Public and Environmental Health Service on 1800 671 738 or (03) 6222 7724 for details.
