(If you think Harry Potter is childish: I Hate Doing Per Rectals at 2:46 am)
Now let me tell you something JK Rowling told me once during a
recent Press Conference. She said that originally she had intended
Harry Potter to murder Voldemort in his very first year at Hogwarts.
Can you believe that! Finishing the entire Harry Potter series within
ONE book? Oh the disgrace!!
4 yrs: MDIV
Watch out, H is for HPV here, not Hib. Remember that Hib is a vaccination for infants while
HPV is for teenagers
Watch out, M is for MCV4 here, not MMR. If theres no Varicella, then its not Mmr,
remember that those two go together
Hib
2 Pcv13
Rotavirus

1) A mother brought her healthy 14 months old child, Thierry, to your clinic.
What vaccinations will you give him? 14mo is close to 12 mo
Hib, PCV13, MMR, Varicella
(Harry Potter murdered Voldemort in his first year)
* You may also give the first dose of Hep A vaccine *
2) Jill brought her twelve year old daughter for a routine check-up. What
vaccinations are appropriate for her age?
HPV, MCV4, Tdap
(Elephants have muscular trunks) 12 is around 11 yrs old
When should she return for the next HPV and MCV4 doses?
HPV: after 2 months and 6 months from todays date
MCV4: when she is 16 yrs old
5) When and how many times should you give the Hepatitis A Vaccine?
It should be given TWICE, between 1 and 2 yrs of age
Both doses should be given at least 6 months apart
Live vaccines are delayed by at least 3 months from date of last
Immmunoglobulin (Ig) administration for whatever reason. The
Ig will kill off the live vaccine particles really fast, before
adequate immunity can develop
MMR does NOT cause Autism or IBD (for Gods sake). What MMR
may cause is Febrile Seizures (rare)
MMR and Varicella vaccines (both are live) are NOT given until
the child is AT LEAST One year old
Either give the live vaccines on the same day, or wait AT LEAST
one month before administering the next live vaccine
o You can give MMR and Varicella on the same day
o But, if you gave MMR and forgot to give Varicella, then wait
at least one month before administering the varicella
vaccine
Rotavirus can cause Intussusception (rare) within a few weeks of
administration. However, vaccine benefits far outweigh the risks
If you have an Egg Allergy, the only thing that should worry you is
that you cant enjoy Omelette du fromage like the rest of us
o MMR is absolutely safe in case of egg allergy
o Mild egg allergy Influenza vaccine can be given, you just
have to stay at the clinic for 15 minutes extra (just in case)
o Severe egg allergy (anything other than hives) Influenza
vaccine should be given as either inpatient or as outpatient
but under proper medical provider supervision (all eyes on
you)
