Lacey, a 9-year-old African American girl, has a history of Sickle Cell disease. She is scheduled to receive her polio vaccine today. The nurse knows that she should give the Inactive Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) because:
1. Lacey's race has a higher risk of reaction to the oral vaccine.
2. Lacey is too old for the oral vaccine.
3. Lacey is at high risk for paralysis because of her immunodeficiency.
4. The oral vaccine is not as effective for females as it is for males.

Feedback
