What is the minimum interval between live vaccine doses for the same disease?

The minimum interval between live vaccine doses for the same disease is 28 days. This time frame is important to ensure that the immune response to the second dose is not compromised by the effects of the first dose. Live vaccines contain weakened forms of the virus or bacteria that cause the disease, and administering them too closely together can interfere with the body's ability to mount a proper immune response.

By waiting at least 28 days between doses, the immune system has adequate time to respond to the first dose fully before introducing the second dose. This helps in achieving optimal immunity and ensures that the vaccination schedule is effective. Following this guideline is crucial for maintaining robust immunity against the disease being vaccinated against.
