At what age range is the DTaP vaccine administered?

  1. 2, 4, 6, 12-18 months, and 4-6 years

  2. At birth only

  3. 11-12 years old

  4. >65 years old

The correct answer is: 2, 4, 6, 12-18 months, and 4-6 years

The DTaP vaccine is administered to children between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old, as stated in option A. Option B, which states that the vaccine is only given at birth, is incorrect because the vaccine is given in multiple doses, not just once at birth. Option C, which states that the vaccine is given to 11-12 years old, is incorrect because the TDaP vaccine, which is a booster shot for DTaP, is given to adolescents at that age. Option D, which states that the vaccine is given to those over 65 years old, is incorrect because the vaccine is specifically for young children to protect them against pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
