    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of parents about immunizations. Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "My child needs to be given her DTaP and polio immunizations at separate visits." is incorrect. DTaP and polio vaccines can be administered together safely during the same visit without affecting efficacy or increasing adverse effects. B. "My child will receive her first dose of rotavirus immunization at 6 months of age." is incorrect. The first dose of the rotavirus vaccine should be given at 2 months of age, with subsequent doses at 4 months and possibly 6 months, depending on the vaccine brand. C. "My child needs to receive the HPV immunization before she starts school." is incorrect. The HPV vaccine is typically recommended around 11 to 12 years of age, but it is not required before starting elementary school. D. "My child will receive the varicella immunization after 12 months of age." is correct. The first dose of the varicella vaccine is administered at 12 to 15 months of age, with a second dose given at 4 to 6 years of age.
