A member asked:

Can people with iga deficiency get mmr and hep b vaccine? i had one as a kid but titers showed no immunity.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The immune system that reacts to these vaccines triggers IgM (transiently ) & IgG antibody (long term) as part of their drive to create protection. IgA deficiency patients can benefit from these vaccines.
