Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Natural immunity doesn't occur, because strains of influenza change yearly.
2. The elderly are advised to have yearly influenza immunizations.
3. Reactions to the vaccine can be enhanced in the immunocompromised client.
4. The vaccine is given to stimulate antibody production in case the person is exposed to the virus.

Answer to Question 2
