AB Most  vaccines  are  safe  to  administer.  In  general,  it  is  recommended  that  the  use  of  live  vaccines  be  avoided  in  immunocompromised  patients,  including  pregnant  women.  Vaccines  are  generally  not  contraindicated  in  the  following  situations:  mild,  acute  illness  with  low-grade  fevers  (less  than  40.5°C);  concurrent  antibiotic  therapy;  soreness  or  redness  at  the  site;  and  family  history  of  adverse  reactions  to  vaccinations.  Absolute  contraindications  to  vaccines  are  rare  (Table  30–9).
