A.

If you are pregnant, you should not receive MMR, varicella, or zoster vaccines. These vaccines are made from live attenuated viruses and potentially could cause a problem. You may receive tetanus and influenza vaccines as needed. If you have other risk factors, it is safe to receive hepatitis A & B, meningococcal, and pneumococcal vaccines.
