MMR Vaccine CI

Contraindicated in pregnancy, immunodeficiency, or allergies to gelatin or neomycin (previously eggs).

DTaP Vaccine AE

Reduced disease risk (80-90%) after the third dose, with boosters (Td) every 10 years, but can cause shock-like state or encephalopathy.

IPV Vaccine CI

Contraindicated for allergies to streptomycin or bacitracin (monitor closely).
