Sample Bacterial Respiratory Infections MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
A pregnant woman with a 2-year-old child reports that she completed all recommended antenatal vaccinations during her previous pregnancy. Which of the following is recommended for her current pregnancy?
AGive a booster dose of TT
BGive a booster dose of Td
CGive 2 doses of TT
DGive 2 doses of Td
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Give a booster dose of Td
Explanation: The Td vaccine (Tetanus and Diphtheria) is recommended as a booster during pregnancy for women who have completed the required tetanus immunizations in previous pregnancies. Current Indian guidelines emphasize the following points: Td vaccine provides immunity against both Tetanus and Diphtheria , whereas the older TT (Tetanus Toxoid) vaccine only targets tetanus. For women with a history of prior antenatal TT vaccination, a single booster dose of Td is sufficient in the current pregnancy to maintain protective immunity. (Options A, C & D ruled out) Timing: The first dose is administered at the start of pregnancy (preferably before 20 weeks). The second dose is scheduled between 20-26 weeks if the first dose was given early or if additional coverage is required.
