Details

Following the recent introduction into the routine schedule of 2 live vaccines not given by a parenteral route (live attenuated nasal influenza vaccine and oral rotavirus vaccine), the evidence to support this general recommendation was reviewed.

In February 2014 the JCVI agreed that the guidance to either administer the vaccines on the same day or at the 4-week interval period was not generalizable to all live vaccines.
