Between which ages is the Hib vaccine series given?

  1. 2-15 months

  2. 12 months and then 6-18 months later

  3. At birth, 1-2 and 6-18 months

  4. 11-12 years

The correct answer is: 2-15 months

The Hib vaccine series is given to young children between the ages of 2-15 months. At birth, babies are typically given the first dose of the Hib vaccine, followed by two additional doses at 1-2 months and 6-18 months of age. Option B is incorrect because there is not a 12-month gap between two doses. Option C is incorrect because it does not include the recommended ages for each dose. Option D is incorrect because it applies to a different vaccine schedule for older children. Overall, the Hib vaccine series is specifically recommended for young children and is not administered between the ages of 11-12 years.
