    A nurse is preparing to administer a vaccine to a 4-year-old child. Which of the following vaccines should the nurse administer?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine is typically recommended for preteens and adolescents, usually starting at age 11. B. The hepatitis B vaccine is typically administered at birth, 1-2 months, and 6-18 months, so a 4-year-old may already have received this vaccine. C. The varicella (VAR) vaccine is recommended for children at ages 12-15 months and again at 4-6 years, making it appropriate for a 4-year-old child. D. The Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) vaccine is usually given to children in a series before 5 years of age, but it is more commonly completed by age 2-3 years. The 4-year-old may already be up to date with this vaccine.
