It is recommended immunization at chronological age. what that means?
If preterm was born at 32weeks-------means 6 weeks before term duhhh, for instance DTaP(first doses at 2 months normally), means that in this particular patient I should wait until He is 3 months and a 1/2?
Thanks

thank you me007
Timing
Medically stable PT and LBW infants should receive all routinely recommended childhood vaccines at the same chronologic age as recommended for FT infants. Under most circumstances, gestational age at birth and birth weight should not be limiting factors when deciding whether a PT or LBW infant is to be immunized on schedule. Infants with birth weight less than 2000 g, however, may require modification of the timing of hepatitis B immunoprophylaxis depending on maternal HBsAg status.
