Which vaccine is recommended annually for transplant recipients?

Influenza
Hepatitis B
MMR
HPV

The correct answer is: Influenza

Transplant recipients have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections and illnesses. This is why the influenza vaccine is recommended annually for them. While the other options may also be necessary for certain individuals, they are not specifically recommended for transplant recipients on an annual basis. The Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for those at high risk of exposure, such as healthcare workers or individuals with certain medical conditions. The MMR vaccine is typically given in childhood and may be necessary if a transplant recipient did not receive it previously or did not have a proper immune response. The HPV vaccine is recommended for certain age groups and is not specifically recommended for transplant recipients. Therefore, A is the best answer as it specifies a vaccine that is recommended annually for this specific population.
