Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering a vaccine to a child who received a dose of immune globulin within the past three months may reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, the nurse should delay the vaccination until the next well-child visit. Allergic reactions, low-grade fever, runny nose, and being on antibiotics are not contraindications for administering a vaccine.
