Answer to Question 1

C
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that a single dose of herpes zoster vaccine (Zostavax) be given to adults 60 years of age or older. This is recommended whether or not the patient reports a prior episode of herpes zoster. Varivax is not recommended to prevent shingles.

Answer to Question 2

A
Although live-virus vaccines should not be administered to mothers during pregnancy, they may be given to children whose mothers are pregnant.
