Take the Infant Vaccine Quiz

Test your knowledge of vaccines against a variety of diseases that can affect your child. This quiz is based on information from the CDC.

1. A pregnant woman passes antibodies to her unborn baby through the placenta to protect against certain diseases. About how long does this natural immunity last after birth?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

A pregnant woman passes on antibodies to those diseases she herself is immune to. This natural immunity lasts for a very short time. And women can't pass on immunity to all vaccinated diseases. So vaccines need to begin before natural immunity wears off and to protect a baby from all vaccine-preventable illnesses.

A. 1 yearB. 2 yearsC. 5 yearsD. None of the above

2. Which vaccine is given soon after birth?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

The CDC recommends this 3-dose vaccine be given at birth. Then a second dose at age 1 to 2 months, and the third dose between 6 and 18 months. This vaccine is especially important for babies who spend time in daycare centers or if the mother is hepatitis B positive, in which case the newborn is given both hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine.

A. PolioB. Hepatitis BC. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)D. Varicella

3. Bacterial meningitis strikes babies more often than any other age group. Which vaccine will help prevent one previously common type of meningitis?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Hib vaccine prevents Haemophilus influenzae, type B infections, which can cause meningitis, pneumonia, and epiglottitis. The number of Hib meningitis cases have dropped dramatically since the vaccine was introduced. A meningococcal meningitis vaccine is also available, starting at age 11 or 12, to protect against another kind of meningitis.

A. TetanusB. HibC. HIVD. Varicella

4. What type of reaction commonly occurs after the diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

About 1 in 4 children will have swelling or soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever. High fever, continual crying, or limp, listless behavior is rare. Any of these is a sign of severe reaction that warrants a call to 911 or the healthcare provider.

A. Swelling and tenderness at the injection siteB. Fever up to 103°F (39.4°C)C. Continual cryingD. Limp, listless behavior

5. When should a baby not be given a DTaP vaccine?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

A baby should not get this vaccine if the child had a serious allergic reaction or encephalopathy after a vaccine given earlier. A mild illness, such as a cold with or without fever, shouldn't prevent immunization.

A. The child has a moderate or serious illness with or without feverB. The child had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction) to the DTaP vaccine given in the pastC. The child had encephalopathy after a vaccine when no other cause was apparentD. B or C

6. In the combined DTP vaccine used in the past, which of the 3 vaccine components reportedly caused severe reactions?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Today, the pertussis vaccine is acellular. This means the entire bacteria cell is not present. The vaccine is denoted as DTaP, a much safer form with minimal side effects.

A. DiphtheriaB. PertussisC. TetanusD. All three when given together
