catch-up vaccination

Catch-up vaccination is a process that helps individuals who missed their scheduled doses of vaccines to receive the appropriate protection. It involves administering the necessary vaccines at a later age or after an interrupted schedule to ensure immunity against specific diseases. The goal is to bring someone up to date with recommended immunizations so they are protected from preventable illnesses. The timing and number of doses may vary depending on age and health status, and healthcare providers plan catch-up schedules to optimize immune response while considering individual circumstances.
