A nurse is preparing to administer the influenza vaccine to a toddler. The prescription is written to administer the influenza vaccine subcutaneously. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. While checking allergies is important, the immediate concern here is the incorrect route, which could compromise safety. B. The influenza vaccine for toddlers is administered intramuscularly (IM), not subcutaneously. The nurse should verify the route of administration before giving the vaccine to ensure safe and effective delivery. Administering a vaccine via the wrong route can affect efficacy and increase risk of complications. C. Toddlers ≥6 months are eligible for the influenza vaccine. This statement is incorrect. D. A toddler typically receives one dose of the influenza vaccine unless it is the first time receiving it, in which case two doses are needed, but this is usually specified by the provider.
