A few questions have come up regarding immunizations and when they should be given. The CDC has a great webpage that makes it easy to determine which vaccines are given and when:
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/index.html
The schedules can be found on the right side of the webpage.
If vaccines are ordered for your patient, please do not assume they are to be given at discharge, and check with the team. Refer to this post in the future by typing "immunization" in the search box of this blog. Any questions, please let me know!
