Prevnar is designed to protect against infection by which organism?

• A. Streptococcus pneumoniae
• B. Haemophilus influenzae type b
• C. Neisseria meningitidis
• D. Staphylococcus aureus

Answer: (A)

Prevnar is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, designed to protect against infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. It targets the pneumococcal serotypes included in the vaccine and helps prevent invasive diseases such as meningitis, bacteremia, and pneumococcal pneumonia. The other organisms listed are covered by different vaccines or not covered by this vaccine: Haemophilus influenzae type b is addressed by the Hib vaccine, Neisseria meningitidis by meningococcal vaccines, and Staphylococcus aureus does not have a routine vaccine in standard immunization schedules.
