2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
Who should receive the hepatitis A vaccine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The hepatitis A vaccine is particularly important for people who travel to other countries where the virus is more prevalent, as they may be at higher risk of exposure.
Option A, while children should be vaccinated, the recommended age is typically around 1 year, not 18 months specifically. Option B is incorrect since infants do not receive the hepatitis A vaccine at birth; it is usually given later. Option D is misleading, as the hepatitis A virus is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route, not through blood contact, making this option less relevant for vaccination.
