An immunization you receive while taking IVIG should not be a "live" vaccine. Ask your provider what type of innoculation they have. Most flu shots are synthetic so they are safe...But Always Disclose Your IVIG and Ask!

Live Vaccines contraindicated: MMR, OPV, Varicella.

Are you having your infusions at home or in an office/infusion suite?
