Question 5 of 5

A live, attenuated influenza vaccine is contraindicated in clients with:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV), administered nasally, is contraindicated in individuals with severe asthma because it can exacerbate respiratory conditions due to its replication in the nasal passages. Choice A (egg allergy) is not a contraindication for LAIV since current formulations have minimal egg protein, and ACIP allows its use in egg-allergic patients unless anaphylaxis history exists. Choice C (chronic diseases) is too vague—some chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes) are not contraindications, though immunocompromised states are. Choice D (active tuberculosis) is a precaution, not an absolute contraindication, though vaccination may be deferred. Severe asthma is the clearest contraindication here.
