A 12-month-old infant receiving chemotherapy for neuroblastoma.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse working in an immunization clinic is caring for a 12-month-old infant who is receiving chemotherapy for neuroblastoma. Which of the following immunizations CANNOT be given to this infant at this time?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Varicella. This live attenuated vaccine poses a risk to immunocompromised individuals, like the infant receiving chemotherapy, as it may lead to an active infection. HIB, IPV, and DTaP are inactivated vaccines and safe to administer. HIB protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b, IPV against polio, and DTaP against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. These vaccines do not pose a risk of causing an active infection in immunocompromised individuals.
