A nurse is preparing to administer the varicella vaccine to a group of clients. The nurse should identify which of the following clients as having a contraindication for receiving this immunization?

An older adult client living in a long-term care facility

A young adult who has an allergy to eggs

A child who recently received the human papillomavirus vaccine

A client who has AIDS

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

This group of individuals is not typically contraindicated for the varicella vaccine. In fact, older adults who have not been previously vaccinated or have not had chickenpox are often encouraged to receive the vaccine.

The varicella vaccine is produced using embryonated chicken eggs. Individuals with a severe allergy to eggs (such as anaphylaxis) should avoid this vaccine. However, most people with mild egg allergies can safely receive it. A healthcare provider should assess the severity of the egg allergy before making a decision.

There is no known contraindication between the varicella vaccine and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. These vaccines target different infections and can be administered independently.

Individuals with advanced immunosuppression, including those with AIDS, should not receive the varicella vaccine. Their weakened immune system may not respond effectively to the vaccine, and there is a risk of disseminated varicella infection.
