The nurse is reviewing the immunization schedule with the parent of a child who is positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). What statement by the parents indicates that teaching has been effective?

A. The varicella vaccine, which is a live attenuated vaccine, may be withheld if the child is symptomatic of their illness or has a significantly compromised immune system. This is due to the increased risk of severe reactions or complications in immunocompromised individuals. B. The vaccination schedule is still applicable to children with HIV, but there may be adjustments based on the child’s immunocompetence and specific health status. C. The pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for children with HIV and is typically administered according to the standard schedule, not delayed until the first birthday. D. The HPV vaccine is generally recommended for children with HIV, as they are at increased risk for HPV-related complications. It is not contraindicated.
