Correct answer: A. Tuberculosis (BCG)

The BCG (tuberculosis) vaccine is used in many countries with high TB prevalence but is NOT part of the standard routine U.S. childhood immunization schedule. Hepatitis B, measles (as part of MMR), and pertussis (as part of DTaP) are all standard, required vaccines in the U.S. pediatric schedule.
