Who are considered high risk populations for the MCV4 vaccine?

  1. Travelers to the meningitis belt, individuals with HIV and sickle cell disease

  2. Only first year college students

  3. Only military recruits

  4. Adults over 65 years of age

The correct answer is: Travelers to the meningitis belt, individuals with HIV and sickle cell disease

High-risk populations for the MCV4 vaccine include individuals who are travelers to the meningitis belt, those with HIV, and individuals with sickle cell disease. This is because these populations have a higher risk of exposure to meningococcal disease. Option B is incorrect because only targeting first year college students does not cover all high-risk populations for the MCV4 vaccine. Option C is incorrect because while military recruits are also recommended to receive the MCV4 vaccine, they are not the only high-risk population for this vaccine. Option D is incorrect as adults over 65 years of age are not considered a high-risk population for the MCV4 vaccine.
