A 16-week-old girl is brought to a general practice by her family, who arrived in Australia three weeks ago. She has no immunisation records and her parents are certain she has received no vaccines at all. She was born at term and is well, with normal growth and development. You check the Australian Immunisation Register, which holds no entries for her, and begin planning a catch-up schedule. Which one of the following vaccines can no longer be given to her because the upper age limit for a first dose has passed?
