* If the vaccination schedule is interrupted, it is not necessary to restart. Instead, the schedule should be resumed using minimal intervals between doses to catch up as quickly as possible.<ref>{{cite news | first=Richard Kent | last=Zimmerman | title=Practice Guidelines - The 2000 Harmonized Immunization Schedule | date=2000-01-01 | publisher= | url =http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3225/is_1_61/ai_59426909 | work =American Family Physician | pages = | accessdate = 2007-05-12 | language = }} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>
* Vaccine combinations (few exceptions), antibiotics, low-dose steroids (less than 20 mg per day), minor infections with low fever (below 38.5º Celsius), diarrhea, malnutrition, kidney or liver disease, heart or lung disease, non-progressive encephalopathy, well controlled epilepsy or advanced age, are not contraindications to vaccination. Contrary to what the majority of doctors may think, vaccines against hepatitis B and tetanus can be applied in any period of the pregnancy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://saudepublica.web.pt/04-PrevencaoDoenca/Travel/TravelVaccines.htm |title=Management of the Traveler: Vaccination |accessdate=2007-05-12 |year=1997 |work=Travel Medicine |publisher=Portal de Saúde Pública |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070518153407/http://www.saudepublica.web.pt/04-PrevencaoDoenca/Travel/TravelVaccines.htm |archivedate=2007-05-18 |df= }}</ref>
* There are very few true contraindication and precaution conditions. Only two of these conditions are generally considered to be permanent: severe (anaphylactic) allergic reaction to a vaccine component or following a prior dose of a vaccine, and encephalopathy not due to another identifiable cause occurring within 7 days of pertussis vaccination.<ref>{{cite web|url=
* Only the diluent supplied by the manufacturer should be used to reconstitute a freeze-dried vaccine. A sterile needle and sterile syringe must be used for each vial for adding the diluent to the powder in a single vial or ampoule of freeze-dried vaccine.<ref>{{cite news|first= |last=Department of Vaccines and Biologicals |title=WHO Recommendations for Diluents |date=December 2000 |publisher=[[World Health Organization]] |url=http://www.who.int/vaccines-documents/DoxNews/updates/updat34e.pdf |format=PDF |work=Vaccines and Biologicals Update |pages=3 |accessdate=2007-05-12 |language= |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070306031320/http://www.who.int/vaccines-documents/DoxNews/updates/updat34e.pdf |archivedate=2007-03-06 |df= }}</ref>
