Discussion
Alternatively, particularly with vaccines, we speak of doses given at time 0, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months etc.
dose 0, dose 1, dose 2 of VGB
or
zero dose, first dose, second dose (and not third dose, as you state above) of VGB
I just want to know which ones are correct.
"dose 0, dose 1, dose 2 of VGB" is correct or "zero dose, first dose, third dose of VGB" is?
