The correct sequence for vaccination is day 0,day 3,day 7,day 14 and day 28,day 0 being the day vaccination is started.Alcohol,steroids and antimalarial therapy all reduce the body's immune response to the vaccine and the antibody titre may not rise to the required safe levels.Alcohol needs to be totally avoided during the 4-6 weeks of vaccination.A antibody level measurement may help assess the antibody production.Extra doses of the vaccine are required in many cases if antibody levels are low.
