Is this vaccine live?

Why it matters: Live vaccines contain a weakened form of the virus or bacteria. They are generally not suitable during pregnancy or for people who are significantly immunosuppressed. Two live injectable vaccines should be given either on the same day or at least 4 weeks apart. Inactivated vaccines do not have these restrictions. Always confirm with your doctor or immunisation provider.
