Vaccine CONTRAINDICATED in pregnancy is: March 2013 (d, h): (A) Hepatitis A vaccine, (B) MMR, (C) Tetanus toxoid, (D) Hepatitis B vaccine
Answer is B. Ans. B i.e. MMR No evidence exists of risk to the fetus from vaccinating pregnant women with inactivated virus or bacterial vaccines or toxoids. Live vaccines administered to a pregnant woman pose a theoretical risk to the fetus; therefore, live, attenuated virus and live bacterial vaccines generally are contraindicated during pregnancy.
