A community health nurse in a pediatric clinic is reviewing the history of a 12-year-old client. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse expect to administer?

A. Rotavirus: The rotavirus vaccine is given orally to infants, with the series completed by 8 months of age. A 12-year-old would be well beyond the recommended age window for this immunization. B. Herpes zoster: The herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine is recommended for adults, typically beginning at age 50 or older. It is not indicated for a 12-year-old child. C. Meningococcal conjugate: The meningococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended for adolescents around 11–12 years of age, with a booster at 16 years. This protects against meningococcal disease, making it the appropriate immunization for this client. D. Pneumococcal polysaccharide: The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is generally given to adults over 65 or individuals with certain high-risk conditions. It is not routinely administered to healthy 12-year-olds.
