intradermal route
at the right deltoid region of the arm
with a dosage of
0.05 ml
next is hepatitis b vaccine
it is also given at birth via
intramuscular

lateralis
of the thai the dosage is 0.5
ml and it must be given in three doses
according to cdc the second dose can be
given at 1 to 2 months
then the last dose can be given around 6
to 18 months of life

of being infected
and becoming a carrier of hepatitis b
at six weeks the first dose of the depth
of vaccine
can be administered the dosage is 0.5
ml via intramuscular at the upper
outer portion of the vastus lateralis
of the thai it is given in three doses
with four weeks interval in each dose
the vaccine can protect the infant from
the three infectious diseases
like diphtheria pertussis or whooping
cough
and tetanus oral
polio vaccine it is also given at six
weeks
for three doses with four weeks interval
in each dose it is given orally
at two to three drops this vaccine is
very helpful
to prevent polio myelitis
next is hib vaccine
in funds usually get their first dose at
six weeks of age
or two months for three doses
with four weeks of interval for each
dose
the dosage is 0.5 ml given via
intramuscular
in the vastus lateralis muscle of the
thigh
it is a vaccine used to prevent
hemophilus
influenza type b infection
these infections usually affect children
under 5 years of age
but can also affect adults with certain
medical conditions we also have the
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
or the pcv it can also be given at six
weeks of age
for the first dose it has three doses
with four weeks of interval for each
dose
the dosage is 0.5 ml via intramuscular
in the vastus lateralis muscle of the
thai
pcv is a pneumococcal vaccine and a
conjugate vaccine
used to protect infants young children
and adults against diseases caused by
the bacterium streptococcus
pneumonia
lastly missiles mumps
and rubella vaccine or the mmr

administered at 9 months
and the second dose will be given at the
age of 1 year
it is via subcutaneous in the
anterolateral aspect of the tie
with the dosage of 0.5 ml
