For adolescents and young adults, how many doses of Meningococcal vaccine are recommended?

  1. 1 dose

  2. 2 doses

  3. 3 doses

  4. 4 doses

The correct answer is: 2 doses

For adolescents and young adults, two doses of Meningococcal vaccine are recommended. The first dose is usually given around the age of 11 or 12 years, with a booster dose given around age 16. This schedule helps provide optimal protection against meningococcal disease during the teenage years when the risk of infection is higher. Option A is incorrect because one dose is not enough to ensure adequate protection. Options C and D are also incorrect as three or four doses are not the recommended schedule for Meningococcal vaccination in adolescents and young adults.
