A member asked:

Is there anything that can cause a child to not respond to multiple vaccines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two basic issues: The kid could have an altered immune system with poor response to normal potent vaccines. Or the vaccines themselves could have been mis -handled some where in the pathway from manufacture to injection where the vaccines were rendered ineffective (improper storage, transport, refrigeration, preparation).
