The parent of an infant asks when the baby's first immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) should be given. Which age should the nurse provide the parent?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that the first dose of MMR vaccine be given at 12-15 months of age. A. 6 months is too early for the MMR vaccine. D. 2 months is also too early for the MMR vaccine. C. 24 months is slightly beyond the recommended range for the first dose of MMR vaccine, which is given between 12-15 months of age.
