1. A 2-month-old presents for a well-child visit. According to the current ACIP/AAP
schedule, which combination of vaccines is routinely given at this visit?
A. DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, RV, and HepB (if birth dose given)
B. MMR, Varicella, and HepA
C. Tdap, HPV, and MenACWY
D. Only the HepB birth dose
Answer: A
Rationale: The 2-month visit includes the first doses of DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, and
rotavirus, plus HepB #2 if the birth dose was given. MMR, Varicella, and HepA begin
at 12 months; Tdap/HPV/MenACWY are adolescent vaccines.
2. A mother missed her infant's 4-month vaccines due to illness, and the infant is now
7 months old. What is the appropriate approach to catch-up vaccination?
A. Restart the entire vaccine series from the beginning
B. Use the ACIP catch-up schedule and resume from where the series left off,
maintaining minimum intervals
C. Skip the missed doses and continue with age-appropriate vaccines only
D. Wait until 12 months to give any combination vaccines
Answer: B
Rationale: Vaccine series do not need to be restarted after a delay. The ACIP catch-up
schedule specifies minimum intervals and ages so the child resumes the series at the
correct point.
3. What is the minimum interval between the first and second doses of DTaP in an
infant catch-up schedule?
A. 2 weeks
B. 4 weeks
, C. 6 weeks
D. 8 weeks
Answer: B
Rationale: The minimum interval between DTaP doses 1 and 2 (and doses 2 and 3) is
4 weeks per the ACIP catch-up guidance.
4. A parent asks why their infant needs multiple doses of the same vaccine. The best
explanation is that:
A. A single dose would be toxic to an infant
B. Multiple doses are needed to prime and build an adequate, durable immune
response
C. Insurance requires multiple office visits
D. There is no immunologic reason, it is only standard practice
Answer: B
Rationale: A primary series primes the immune system, and subsequent doses boost
antibody titers to protective levels; infants typically require serial exposure for
adequate, durable immunity.
5. Current guidance for COVID-19 vaccination in healthy children ages 6 months
through 17 years emphasizes:
A. Mandatory vaccination with no parental input
B. Individual/shared clinical decision-making between the family and provider
C. That vaccination is contraindicated in this age group
D. A single fixed nationwide mandate identical for all children
Answer: B
Rationale: Current recommendations frame COVID-19 vaccination for many groups,
including healthy children, under shared clinical decision-making that weighs
individual risk factors, exposure, and family preference.
6. Which factor is MOST important to discuss during shared decision-making about
COVID-19 vaccination for a child with a chronic condition such as asthma?
A. The child's favorite color
B. Individual risk of severe disease, benefits/risks of vaccination, and family
values/preferences
C. The vaccine manufacturer's stock performance
D. Whether the school requires it for enrollment
, Answer: B
Rationale: Shared decision-making centers on an individualized risk-benefit discussion
incorporating comorbidities, exposure risk, and the family's values and concerns, not
administrative or unrelated factors.
7. A parent declines COVID-19 vaccination for their otherwise healthy 3-year-old after
a shared decision-making conversation. The appropriate next step is to:
A. Refuse to provide further well-child care
B. Document the discussion and respect the informed decision while leaving the door
open for future discussion
C. Report the family to social services
D. Administer the vaccine without consent
Answer: B
Rationale: Respecting informed parental autonomy after a thorough shared decision-
making discussion, with clear documentation, maintains the therapeutic relationship
and allows the topic to be revisited later.
8. At what minimum age can a child first receive inactivated influenza vaccine?
A. Birth
B. 6 months
C. 12 months
D. 2 years
Answer: B
Rationale: Inactivated influenza vaccine is licensed starting at 6 months of age; live
attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) requires a minimum age of 2 years.
9. A 9-month-old is receiving influenza vaccine for the first time this season. How
many doses are needed?
A. One dose only
B. Two doses at least 4 weeks apart
C. Three doses one month apart
D. None; infants are exempt
Answer: B
