Can the measles vaccine be given during pregnancy?

Yes, because it is safe
No, because it contains a live virus
Yes, in the third trimester only
No, unless under special circumstances

The correct answer is: No, because it contains a live virus

It is not recommended to administer the measles vaccine during pregnancy because it contains a live virus. This could potentially harm the developing fetus. However, if the mother is found to be at high risk for contracting the virus, the vaccine may be considered in special circumstances with the guidance of a healthcare provider. The other options (A and C) are incorrect because they do not take into consideration the risk of the live virus for the baby. Option D is partially correct, but it does not provide the specific precaution of avoiding the vaccine during pregnancy and only making exceptions in certain situations.
