Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. Attenuated vaccines are also known as:
A. Killed vaccines
B. Booster vaccines
C. Inactivated vaccines
D. Live vaccines
2. Live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist) may be administered to:
A. All patients over 6 months of age
B. Patients between age 2 years
and 49 years with no risk
factors
C. Patients with a URI or asthma
D. Pregnant women
3. The reason that two MMR vaccines at least a month apart are
recommended is:
A. The second dose of MMR
“boosts” the immunity built from
the first dose
B. Two vaccines 1 month apart is
the standard dosing for all live
virus vaccines
C. If the two MMR vaccine doses are
given too close together there is
a greater likelihood of severe
localized reaction to the vaccine
D. Only 95% of patients are fully
immunized for measles after
the first vaccine, with 99%
having immunity after two
doses of MMR
4. MMR vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women because:
A. Pregnant women do not build
adequate immunity to the
vaccine
B. There is a risk of the pregnant
women developing measles
encephalopathy
C. There is a risk of the fetus

, developing congenital rubella
syndrome
D. Pregnant women can receive the
MMR vaccine
5. If the MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) combined
vaccine is ordered to be given as the first MMR and varicella dose to a
child the CDC recommends:
A. Parents be informed of the
increased risk of fever and
febrile seizures over the MMR
plus varicella 2 shot regimen
B. Patients must also receive MMRV
as the second dose of MMR and
varicella in order to build
adequate immunity
C. Patients be premedicated with
acetaminophen 15 minutes
before the vaccine is given
D. Patients should not be around
pregnant women for the first 48
hours after the vaccine is given
6. The rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq, Rotarix):
A. Is a live vaccine that replicates in
the small intestine, providing
active immunity against rotavirus
B. Should not be administered to
infants who are or may be
potentially immunocompromised
C. Is not given to an infant who has
a febrile illness (temperature
greater than 100.5°F)
D. All of the above
7. Varicella vaccine is recommended to be given to patients who are:
A. HIV positive with a CD4+ T-
lymphocyte percentage less than
15 percent
B. Taking corticosteroids (up to
2 mg/kg/day or less than 20
mg/day)
C. Pregnant
D. Immunocompromised
8. Zoster vaccine (Zostavax) is:
