Epidemiological factors • Typical age of acquistion of the disease (immunization should come first) • Possible age-related complications of the disease • Age-related adverse events of immunizaton • Already implemented immunization programs |
Immunological factors • Immune system development • Clearance of maternal antibodies • Number of doses and time interval between doses necessary to obtain an effective immune response • Duration of immune protection elicited by immunization |
Practical factors • Number of immunizations to be included in the schedule • Availability of combined vaccines • Number of vaccination sessions • Organization of immunization services |
