1. Meningococcal vaccine.
2. Hepatitis A and B vaccine.
3. Hepatitis B vaccine.
4. Pneumococcal vaccine.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. In addition to the routine adult immunizations, gays, bisexual, and transgender men should receive immunization for hepatitis A and B. Routine immunizations for the bisexual male client would not include meningococcal and pneumococcal vaccinations. Hepatitis B is not correct as the client needs to receive both the hepatitis A and B series.
