Polio vaccine is typically completed in early childhood, not routinely given in adolescence. C. Pneumococcal vaccine is mainly for infants, older adults, or those with specific health risks, not routinely for healthy adolescents. D. BCG vaccine is not routinely given in many countries and is used mainly to prevent tuberculosis in high-risk populations, not part of standard adolescent immunizations
