Final answer:

The IPV, MMR, and Varicella vaccines should not be given to individuals with a history of anaphylaxis to gelatin, which is a stabilizer in many vaccines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IPV (Inactivated Poliovirus vaccine), MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), and Varicella (chickenpox) vaccines should not be given to individuals with a history of anaphylaxis to gelatin. Gelatin is used as a stabilizer in many vaccines and can cause severe allergic reactions in individuals with a gelatin allergy. Allergies to latex, peanuts, or fish are not directly related to these vaccines, although individuals with a latex allergy should avoid vaccines with latex-containing syringe stoppers or vial seals.
