Explanation

The correct answer is 9 months and older. This means that individuals who are at least 9 months old are eligible to receive the Yellow Fever vaccine. This age requirement is put in place to ensure that the vaccine is safe and effective for the individual receiving it. Younger infants may not have a fully developed immune system, making them more susceptible to potential side effects of the vaccine. Therefore, it is recommended to wait until the child is at least 9 months old before administering the Yellow Fever vaccine.

Submit
93. _______ make up 60-70% of WBCs and are part of the organism's first line of defense against infection.

Explanation

Neutrophils make up 60-70% of WBCs and are part of the organism's first line of defense against infection. They are phagocytic cells that are able to engulf and destroy bacteria and other pathogens. Neutrophils are typically the first immune cells to arrive at the site of infection and play a crucial role in the inflammatory response. They release enzymes and chemicals to kill the invading pathogens and recruit other immune cells to the site of infection.

Submit
