Question: 1 / 400

Which combination of vaccines requires a prescription for pharmacists to immunize adults?

Japanese encephalitis vaccine and rabies vaccine

The combination of vaccines that requires a prescription for pharmacists to immunize adults is the Japanese encephalitis vaccine and the rabies vaccine. Certain vaccines are classified as "prescription-only," meaning they can only be administered under the directive of a healthcare provider due to the specific regulatory requirements associated with their use.

In this case, the Japanese encephalitis and rabies vaccines are typically recommended for travelers, specific occupational exposures, or special populations and therefore necessitate a prescription. This requirement ensures that those receiving these vaccines are properly assessed for suitability and any potential risks or contraindications are addressed.

The other combinations listed, such as diphtheria and flu vaccines, hepatitis A and rubella vaccines, as well as meningitis and mumps vaccines, are generally considered to be available without a prescription. These vaccines can often be provided as part of routine immunizations or public health initiatives. Thus, it's the unique nature and the specific contexts in which the Japanese encephalitis and rabies vaccines are used that necessitate a prescription for their administration.
