how many days to wait for h1n1 2nd shot

[Anonymous]

how long are you supposed to wait between getting the first and second shots for an 18mo? i have heard 21 days and also 4 weeks. are either right? or does it really matter as long as we get it between 3 and 4 weeks? advice is appreciated.

thanks.

I asked about this extensively when we got my son's shot, and was told that it was a minimum of 4 weeks. There was nothing wrong with waiting 5 weeks, but don't go a day under 4 weeks.

Note that I'm not an expert; I'm just quoting what the nurse at the flu shot clinic said.

I was told 28 days when my son got his shot.

the last dc clinic is 25 days after my son got his shot. i was hoping that would be ok, unless his pediatrician got it sometime soon.
