What would happen if a person who is undergoing chemotherapy were given a live virus vaccine against polio?
 
  A. The cancer patient would likely develop a strong immune response to the vaccine because a live viral antigen was used.
  B. The cancer patient would likely develop polio because the immune system is compromised and would not be able to fight off the live virus.
  C. The chemotherapy the cancer patient is receiving would inactivate the vaccine by killing the live polio virus.
  D. There would be no effect, as the cancer patient does not produce a high number of immune cells for the polio virus to interact with.
  E. Using a live viral antigen in a vaccine is lethal to immunocompromised people because their immune system would be overwhelmed and toxic shock would occur.
