    The clinic nurse is assessing a child who is scheduled to receive a live virus vaccine. What are the general contraindications associated with receiving a live virus vaccine? (Select all that apply).

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Mild diarrhea is not generally a contraindication for receiving a live virus vaccine. B. Recent exposure to an infectious disease, unless it’s the disease in question, is not a contraindication. C. Children with severe immunodeficiency are contraindicated from receiving live virus vaccines, as their weakened immune system cannot handle the live attenuated virus. D. Mild cold symptoms are typically not a contraindication for live virus vaccines. E. A previous anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine is a strict contraindication to receiving that vaccine again due to the risk of a life-threatening allergic reaction.
