7. What action are you going to take for a child who is 2 weeks old and has not be vaccinated at all Administer OPV zero and BCG vaccines b) Administer BCG vaccine only c) Counsel and give a return date to coincide with the time when the child is 6 weeks' old d) Administer BCG, OPV Zero and pentavalent one

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) Administer BCG, OPV Zero, and pentavalent one.According to the recommended immunization schedule, the vaccines that should be administered to a child who is 2 weeks old and has not been vaccinated at all are BCG, OPV Zero, and pentavalent one. The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, the OPV Zero vaccine protects against polio, and the pentavalent vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). It is important to administer these vaccines to ensure the child's protection against these potentially life-threatening diseases.
