(see 4.6 fertility, pregnancy and lactation, use in lactation).,revaccination children vaccinated when younger than 12 months of age should be revaccinated at 12 to 15 months of age. persons who were vaccinated originally when 12 months of age or older should be revaccinated with a mmr-containing vaccine, as per the recommended vaccination schedule. revaccination is intended to seroconvert those who did not respond to the first dose. however, data on long term persistence of antibodies are limited and continued surveillance will be required to allow firm recommendations to be made on revaccination. however, persons should be revaccinated if there is evidence to suggest that initial immunisation was ineffective.
