Abstract
Live viral vaccines work by exposing the immune system to an attenuated form of viruses that typically cause infections. The immune response engendered by these vaccines provides protection with subsequent exposure to wild type viruses, resulting in either no disease or a milder form of disease with fewer associated complications. This chapter discusses both real and perceived adverse effects associated with the more commonly used live virus vaccines.
