Hi all,
You may have seen the FAQ Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care document on “Interim Use of Publicly Funded Engerix-B Vaccine for Renal Dialysis Patients” where they discuss a little about the interchangeability of HB vaccine brands. Because Engerix B is a 4 dose schedule (0,1,2,6 months) and Recombivax is a 3 dose schedule (0,1,6 months) we are getting questions on how to handle being in the middle of a series if you have to switch brands. Do any of you have experience/policies developed on how to deal with this? Thanks!
