    A nurse in a well-baby clinic is caring for a 4-month-old infant. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse anticipate giving at this visit?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) is typically recommended for adolescents (11–12 years) and certain high-risk infants starting at 2 months for specific formulations, but it is not part of the routine 4-month immunization schedule for all infants. B. The rotavirus vaccine is given orally to infants to prevent rotavirus gastroenteritis. The routine immunization schedule includes doses at 2 months and 4 months, making it appropriate for a 4-month-old well-baby visit. It is a key component of early infant immunizations. C. The herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine is recommended for adults 50 years and older. It is not given to infants and is unrelated to routine childhood immunizations.
