Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
While the live, oral vaccine may be given to patients older than 6 years, each capsule must be taken 48 hours apart with the last capsule given 1 week prior to travel. There would not be enough time to complete the regimen since the patients leave in 10 days. Children under age 6 cannot receive the oral vaccine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the MMR or other live virus vaccine is not given the same day as the varicella vaccine, administration of the two vaccines should be separated by at least 4 weeks. In the incorrect answers, the two live virus vaccines are given only one week apart.
