Which vaccines are contraindicated for individuals with immunodeficiency?

Live vaccines
Pneumococcal vaccines
Hep A and B
DTaP

The correct answer is: Live vaccines

Individuals with immunodeficiency are at risk of developing severe infections from live vaccines as they contain weakened or attenuated forms of the virus that could potentially cause the disease in individuals with compromised immune systems. Therefore, live vaccines are contraindicated in individuals with immunodeficiency. The other options (B. Pneumococcal vaccines, C. Hep A and B, D. DTaP) are not universally contraindicated for individuals with immunodeficiency and can usually be administered depending on the severity of the condition and the specific vaccine.
