Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale 1: A toxoid is not an organism but a chemical produced by the organism. The toxoid has been treated to weaken its toxic effect.
Rationale 2: The immunization contains organisms that are dead and incapable of reproducing.
Rationale 3: This immunization contains live but weakened organisms. These organisms can mutate and reproduce and may cause disease in a weakened immune system.
Rationale 4: An attenuated vaccine is the same as a live virus vaccine.
Rationale 5: Immunoglobulins are the antibodies produced by others against a disease. They do not contain the live or killed virus.
