The following contribution is from Serge Ganivet
(mailto:

____________________________________
The Vietnam experience of administering the birth dose of HepB out of
the cold chain is very interesting. Given these results in terms of
both coverage thus accessibility, and immunity, why not take the
subsequent doses of the immunisation schedule also out of the cold
chain in rural areas?
Thank you.
Serge
