Final answer:

Prevnar 13 should not be given to someone with a severe allergic reaction to any component of Prevnar 13 or any toxoid-containing vaccines. Toxoid vaccines contain inactivated toxins that can stimulate an immune response.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prevnar 13 should not be given to anyone with a history of severe allergic reaction to any component of Prevnae 13 or any toxoid-containing vaccines.



Toxoid vaccines, like subunit vaccines, do not introduce a whole pathogen to the patient. They contain inactivated toxins that have been treated to remove their toxicity but retain their ability to stimulate an immune response.
