A NOTE FROM SCHOOL NURSE
In the coming weeks, we will be conducting a vaccination audit among our kindergarten and grade 1 students. The most common boosters needed for children ages 4-6 are DTaP, Polio, and a third dose of MMR (if the first dose was given before 12 months of age). Below, I have explained the rationale behind these three common vaccines.
Rationales
DTaP: dose 4 must be given at age 4 or older. If the 4th dose was given younger than age 4, the efficacy gradually decreases. The child will need a 5th dose as a booster to strengthen their immunity.
Polio: “4 or more doses of IPV can be administered before age 4 years when a combination vaccine containing IPV is used. However, a dose is still recommended on or after age 4 years and at least 6 months after the previous dose.” The last dose after age 4 acts as a booster to strengthen the immune response, ensuring long-term protection against these diseases.
***MMR: need a 3rd dose if the first dose was given before 12 months of age. In Cambodia, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is given at 9 months due to the prevalence of these diseases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the first dose at 12 months for these reasons:
1. From newborn to under 12 months of age, a child receives maternal antibodies as a temporary immunity against mumps, measles, and rubella.
2. The antibodies start to wane after 12 months, so a first dose of the MMR is required at this age.
3. If the MMR vaccine is given before 12 months, the maternal antibodies in infants under 12 months can interfere with vaccine efficacy.
Thus, children receiving their first MMR dose at 9 months typically need a third dose for adequate immunity as they grow.
