Q: What should be the time difference between the two doses of Diphtheria & Hepatitis vaccine in a case called as vaccine drop out case?
A:There are no strict definitions about this but generally an interval of over one year may warrant repeating the schedule (drop out equivalent) because the immune cells memory may wane.
