Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Vaccines contain live weakened or dead organisms not strong enough to cause disease but they stimulate the body to develop an immune reaction and antibodies. This is active acquired immunity.

Steroids are immunosuppressive drugs that make the child very susceptible to opportunistic infections.
