Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Secondary vaccine failure is the waning of immunity following an initial immune response. Primary vaccine failure is the failure of a vaccine to stimulate any immune response. It can be caused by improper storage or improper administration route. Herd immunity refers to a state in which those not immune to an infectious agent will be safe if a certain proportion of the population has been vaccinated or is otherwise immune.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
An important concept to remember is that, in areas of health within a state, state laws usually prevail over federal law. The U.S. Constitution does not address health, and the Tenth Amendment reserves power to the states over all issues not addressed in the Constitution.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
