gilbert I got it right because I thought of the prevalance of HBV in China. +8

yesa Also, HBV forms chronic infection in children (HCV chronic in adults), so if she's not vaccinated for it, you screen for it first. All of the others you don't screen for even if they cause a latent infection (CMV...) +1

veryhungrycaterpillar @gilbert. Exactly. You don't normally screen people for Hep B in the US, unless they're from a demographic. Chinese immigrants are among that demographic. +1

ls3076 how can we actually be expected to know vaccination schedules... there must be some other reason the answer is correct +4

cbreland I don't think we need to know that the vaccination schedules, but that the only other answer with a vaccine was adenovirus. I figured that there would have more symptoms if she had adenovirus (plus didn't fit the typical military recruit/swimmer demographic) +

koko Why does it have to be something with a vaccine? RSV Is extremely common in babies,shouldn’t screen for that? +

makingstrides I didn't get my hep B vaccine until I was a teen +

srmtn it is related to the screening during pregnancy, nothing to do with vaccines. +
