Administration of immunoglobulins interferes with the response to live vaccines, except:
Oral typhoid vaccine
Passively administered antibodies (immunoglobulins) can neutralize parenterally given live viral vaccines like measles, mumps, and rubella before an adequate immune response develops. Oral live vaccines such as oral typhoid (Ty21a) and OPV act locally in the gut mucosa and are not neutralized by circulating immunoglobulins, so they are unaffected.
