The Polio guidelines are different, with the U.S. requiring 3 shots early (as opposed to 2 in Japan) and one at 4-6 years old, whereas Japan makes no recommendation of a Polio vaccine beyond 18 months.
The CDC recommends that the vaccine be given to children under age 5. Ideally, the first dose should be given at age 2 months. Because Hib disease is very rare in older children and because most adults have antibodies for Hib in their system, the vaccine is not recommended for anyone ages 5 or older, unless they are at increased risk for Hib infection.
