Answer to Question 1

C
Because hepatitis A has a long incubation period of 15 to 50 days, the vaccine may not prevent hepatitis A infection in patients who have an unrecognized hepatitis A infection at the time of vaccination. The patient has no history of exposure to blood or body fluids, which are the methods of transmission of hepatitis B or C. Side effects of the hepatitis A vaccine are generally mild.

Answer to Question 2

C
A catch-up vaccination may be given for women 13 to 26 years old and should be given even to women with a history of genital warts, a positive HPV test, or an abnormal pap smear.
