MMRV (ProQuad, Merck) was mistakenly given to a 31-year-old instead of MMR. Can this be considered a valid dose?
Yes, however, this issue is not addressed in the 2010 MMRV ACIP recommendations. Although this is off-label use, CDC recommends that when a dose of MMRV is inadvertently given to a patient age 13 years and older, it may be counted towards completion of the MMR and varicella vaccine series and does not need to be repeated.
