The best immune response with the HPV vaccine is after 3 doses. If you miss the second dose, get it as sson as you can and then get the third dose - at the appropriate interval if possible. The basic idea is to get three does and not wory toom much about meeting an exact schedule.
If you stop after the first dose, your protection will be much less than if you get all three doses.

Yes. Children under ten who have an immature immune system need to take two doses of the vaccine to get the appropriate immune response that will enable them to be immunized against influenza. The recommendations are that the first dose of the swine flu vaccine should be given and then in around a month a second dose is given. In approximately three weeks after the second dose, full immunity should be established if the child is otherwise healthy with a fully functioning immune system.

It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.
