If a child received two doses of Hib vaccine and the second dose was given at 13 months of age, does the child need a third dose?
It depends on when the first dose was administered. If both doses were administered at one year of age or after, then 2 doses are all the child needs. If the first dose was administered before one year of age and the second dose at 13 months of age, then the child needs one more dose based on the Hib schedule in the Pink Book.
