How is the DTaP-HepB-IPV vaccine administered?

Orally
Intramuscular (IM)
Subcutaneous
Intravenous

The correct answer is: Intramuscular (IM)

DTaP-HepB-IPV vaccine is administered through the Intramuscular (IM) route. This means the vaccine is injected into a muscle, typically the thigh or upper arm, using a needle and syringe. This is the most common route for vaccinations, as it allows for optimal absorption and immune response. Administering the vaccine orally (option A) or subcutaneously (option C) would not be as effective as the muscle tissue has a higher concentration of immune cells. Intravenous administration (option D) is not recommended as it can cause adverse reactions and is not necessary for vaccination delivery.
