2. Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB conjugate vaccine)
3. Varicella vaccine
4. Hepatitis B vaccine (Hep B)
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A child with an immune disorder should not be immunized with a live varicella vaccine because of the risk of contracting the disease. DTaP, HIB, and hepatitis B vaccinations are not live vaccines and should be given on schedule.
