weighing 130 lb? - ✔✔Fixed 1-inch needles are acceptable for patients weighing 60 kg (132 lb) or less.
HZV, MMR, rabies, typhoid, varicella, or yellow fever vaccine should not be administered to a patient
with a history of anaphylaxis to: - ✔✔Gelatin
Alan is a 47-year-old man who has no documentation of a primary series of tetanus-containing vaccine.
Which of the following would be an appropriate primary series for Alan? - ✔✔
1) Tdap
2) Td 4 weeks later
3) Td 6-12 months later
Td booster every 10 years after 3rd dose
Candidate for PPSV23? - ✔✔All adults 65+ years
Immunocompromised (alcoholism, chronic liver; heart; lung disease, diabetics, cochlear implants, CSF
leak) patients ages 19-64
Children with asthma only if theyre treated with high dose corticosteriods
Name the vaccine-preventable disease that may be contracted by unimmunized children from adults
serving as reservoirs for the disease, which causes a paroxysmal cough and potentially can result in
pneumonia, seizures, encephalopathy, hypoxia, and death. - ✔✔Pertussis
Which of the following vaccines may be administered to males and females aged 9 through 26 years to
reduce the likelihood of acquiring genital warts? - ✔✔9vHPV
,Which of the following key questions is important to ask a patient before administering IIV? - ✔✔Are you
sick today?
*Mild illness is okay, but moderate to severe acute illness need to be resolved before getting vaccine.
Live attenuated vaccines.. - ✔✔produced by weakening the virus or bacteria to reduce the likelihood
that it can cause disease
end to produce more persistent, longer-lasting immunity than inactivated vaccines
must replicate in order for the body to produce an immune response
could cause disease in immunocompromised patients
Circulating antibodies may interfere with a live attenuated vaccine's ability to replicate.
Inactivated vaccines... - ✔✔are produced by killing the virus/bacteria
includes polysaccharide vaccines (conjugated [protein altered] or unconjugated), toxoids, or cellular
vaccines
Which type of vaccine involves stimulation of B cells without the assistance of T helper cells? - ✔✔A pure
polysaccharide
*not recommended for children <2 because of their immature immune system
Conjugated vaccines.. - ✔✔provide longer lasting protection
the immune response that changes to a T cell mediated response allows children <2 to form an immune
response
, T/F
Both live attenuated vaccines and recombinant vaccines mimic natural infection and involve T cells in the
immune response. - ✔✔True
The incubation period for influenza can range from: - ✔✔1-4 days
What is the time interval for which the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome following influenza
vaccination would result in a precaution for future influenza vaccines? - ✔✔6 weeks
The monitoring system that health care providers should use to report serious adverse events after
vaccination is: - ✔✔VAERS
Which of the following patients are appropriate candidates for the 2-dose schedule of HPV9? - ✔✔11 or
12 year olds
*if series has not been started by age 15, then a 3 dose series is needed
*3 dose series recommended for immunocompromised patients
*1st/2nd dose- given at 0 and 6-12 months
*if 2nd dose is given sooner than 5 months after the first dose then a 3rd dose is needed
Why should refrigerated vaccines be stored in the middle of the refrigerator? - ✔✔because the
temperature in the middle does not fluctuate as much.
A history of anaphylaxis caused by neomycin would be a contraindication to receiving which of the
following vaccines? - ✔✔Hep A, IPV, MMR, Rabies, smallpox, varicella, zoster, influenza
