    Is anyone else confused about the DTaP question, #3 in the Q&A book?

    I thought the book said that if the child has a seizure that they should not get the aP component but the answer states that they can get the aP component?

    Hey ppat. I think you misread it. It says “the PERTUSSIS (aP) component is contraindicated in future vaccinations. Instead, give DT. “ Right? Perhaps I’m missing something. If you’re still confused, please post an update here.

    Answer choice B. (which is listed as the correct answer) states “The child should no longer receive DTaP, but may receive the aP component at this visit.” If B is the correct answer it should state “The child should no longer receive DTaP, but may receive the DT component at this visit.”

    Right? I share the confusion on this question, but, have loved the material!

    I finally figured it out. The answer choice should be C.

    Now are we on the same page?
