The advantages of using specific immune globulin (SIG) or intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) over vaccinations are as follows:

  1. SIG will take effect immediately and offer protection right away.

    • This statement is correct. SIG provides immediate passive immunity because it contains antibodies that can neutralize pathogens right away, unlike vaccines, which require time for the body to develop an immune response.
  2. SIG takes time to develop but offers long-lasting immunity.

    • This statement is incorrect. SIG provides immediate but temporary immunity. It does not take time to develop, nor does it offer long-lasting immunity like vaccines, which stimulate the body's own immune system to provide long-term protection.
  3. SIG is useful for immunocompromised patients who cannot be vaccinated.

    • This statement is correct. Immunocompromised patients may not be able to receive live vaccines due to the risk of infection. SIG can provide them with necessary antibodies without the need for their immune system to respond to a vaccine.
  4. SIG contains denatured antigens so it is safer than vaccination.

    • This statement is incorrect. SIG does not contain denatured antigens; it contains antibodies. The safety of SIG compared to vaccines depends on the specific context and patient condition, but the statement as it stands is not accurate.

In summary, the correct advantages of using SIG or IVIG over vaccinations are that they provide immediate protection and are useful for immunocompromised patients.
