[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do half doses for babies, that's why you have to get two shots.[/quote] The dose is determined by age and brand of vaccine, not by whether the indication is for one or two shots. So, regardless of whether they need one or two shots this season (based on what they have or haven't gotten), the dose for any child 6 months to 35 months is the same. And the volume of the dose is the same for everyone 36 months of age and older. [quote]What is the correct dose (volume) of vaccine? The amount of inactivated (injectable) vaccine that should be administered intramuscularly is based on the age of the patient and the vaccine product you are using. For children 6–35 months of age, the correct dose is: 0.25 mL for Fluzone Quadrivalent 0.5 mL for FluLaval Quadrivalent For persons 3 years of age and older, the correct dose is 0.5 mL for all inactivated influenza vaccine products. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/vaxadmin.htm [/quote][/quote]
