YES!! If the primary vaccine course consists of 2 doses of vaccine you must administer both doses at the recommended interval for the vaccine to be effective. Using only one dose of a 2 dose course is likely to be a waste of time and money and will not be protective against disease. Also ensure that you give the correct volume of vaccine at the correct site as cleanly as possible to avoid injection reactions. Remember to store the vaccine as directed to ensure that it will work effectively.
