Four-month-old infant James Hernandez is brought to the pediatrician’s office by his mother, Maria, for a scheduled well baby check-up. The mother reports that James is breastfeeding well and she denies any concerns. The LPN verifies James’ immunization record and sees that he is up-to-date on all of the recommended vaccinations needed prior to this visit. James is assessed by the nurse practitioner and found to be in good health. The LPN then prepares and administers the vaccinations ordered by the nurse practitioner in accordance with the current published immunization schedule. Describe how this humoral response differs from a cell-mediated immune response.

When the patient's mother expresses concern about his sister being reinfected with chickenpox, what is the most appropriate response?
