A member asked:
Dtap 15-18 month booster dose delayed by 6 months for my daughter. is this is a problem? she already got 2, 4, 6 month dose.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: This delay should not interfere with what is called an anamnestic response, in which the body remembers the prior injections and markedly boosts the antibody levels.
