*The varicella vaccine can be given with other vaccines and lasts about 11 years. A milder case can still occur after the vaccination, but usually with 50% fewer lesions and mild to no fever. Two (2) doses, one (1) month apart, are needed for children older than 13 years.
Other Vaccines to consider
Rotavirus: Rotashield®...a new vaccine against the rotavirus, which causes severe diarrhea in children, is now available. The recommended schedule is a series of three (3) oral doses at two (2), four (4), and six (6) months of age and may also be given with other childhood vaccines. It is not recommended for children older than six (6) months.
Influenza: The flu vaccine can be given to patients six (6) months of age and older. It is highly recommended for children with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, HIV, or chronic renal disease. Two (2) injections, given one (1) month apart, may be needed if the child is younger than nine (9) years of age.
Pneumonia: The pneumococcal vaccine is routinely recommended for patients aged 65 and older...but is also recommended for children two (2) years of age or older in certain risk groups...including patients with HIV and cancer, those with diabetes, and those on long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy.
