What immunization should not be given to a child receiving chemotherapy for cancer?

a.
Tetanus vaccine
b.
Inactivated poliovirus vaccine
c.
Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus (DPT)
d.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

ANS: D

The vaccine used for MMR is a live virus and can cause serious disease in immunocompromised children. The tetanus vaccine, inactivated poliovirus vaccine, and DPT are not live vaccines and can be given to immunosuppressed children. The immune response is likely to be suboptimum, so delaying vaccination is usually recommended.
