Question 3 of 5
The nurse is administering a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to a client. Which of the following is true regarding this type of vaccine? Select ONE that does not apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV, e.g., PCV13 or PCV15) prevents infections caused by *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, including pneumonia. A: Side effects like erythema, swelling, and pain at the injection site are well-documented. B: PCV is given in a series (typically 4 doses at 2, 4, 6, and 12–15 months), not once with an adulthood booster; boosters like PPSV23 may apply later for high-risk groups, but this is incorrect for PCV’s standard schedule. C: It’s primarily for infants and children per CDC guidelines. D: PCV has no egg-related contraindications (unlike some influenza vaccines). E: It prevents pneumococcal diseases, including pneumonia. Thus, A, C, and E are true.
