What are the contraindications to live vaccines?

Pregnancy and immunosuppression
Adolescence
Older adulthood
Diabetes

The correct answer is: Pregnancy and immunosuppression

Live vaccines are typically not given to pregnant individuals or those with a weakened immune system, as the live virus may cause harm in these populations. Adolescents and older adults are not contraindicated from receiving live vaccines unless they have other underlying health conditions that would put them at risk. Diabetes, on its own, is not a contraindication for receiving live vaccines.
