Answer to Question 1

A
The child should be placed in a forward-facing child safety seat. The child is not old enough or big enough for a booster seat. The child should always be placed in a safety seat. The toddler should never be placed in a seat with an airbag.

Answer to Question 2

A
The influenza vaccine should not be given to children who have an allergy to eggs.
