*Meningococcal C is added for children born on or after 1 January 2002.
# On 18 September 2003 the 18 month dose of DTP was removed from the schedule for all
children.
Note:
The 2000 Australian Standard Vaccination Schedule recommends only one HIB Path (PRP-OMP).
When necessary, the two paths may be interchanged with regard to their hepatitis B and HIB components
(eg when a child moves interstate, they may change from one path to the other).
Hepatitis B dose 3 may be given at 6 or 12 months, depending on the vaccine administered. Hepatitis B
dose 3 is not due or overdue if a child has received three valid doses (for example, birth dose, dose one
and dose two).
Wherever possible, the same brand of DTPa should be used at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.
