Ans: B
The most compelling reason for vaccination is that the highest rate of illness from influenza is in children. The fact that Hib is an opportunistic bacterium that lives in humans and only causes disease when resistance is lowered may be difficult for the parent to understand. A choice of two vaccines conveys no benefits to the mother. Need for the final dose is vague.
