Expired vaccine - repeating the dose
Hi, My 12 month old daughter was given the first dose of BIOVAC-A vaccine couple of days ago. We realised later that the vaccine was expired in May 2024. This was the first dose of the two and the next dose is scheduled after 18 months. As the first dose is expired, should we repeat the dose now and then take dose after 18 months ? Or should we wait till 18 months to repeat the dose ? Please clarify
Thanks in advance.
