The recommendations in the US are to get the first dose between 12 and 15 months old, and the second dose between ages 4 and 6 years. It can also be used to prevent infection if given within five days of exposure.
If a child or adult hasn't been vaccinated yet, s/he should get the first dose now, and the second dose at least three months apart if the patient is under 13, and at least four weeks apart for patients 13 and older.
If someone has had just one dose, they should get a second dose.
