Detailed Solution

The live, attenuated viral vaccines are MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), varicella (chickenpox), rotavirus, and influenza (intranasal). These vaccines use weakened or modified versions of the live virus to stimulate the immune system and provide immunity against the disease.

Inactivated vaccines, on the other hand, use the killed version of the germ that causes a disease. Examples of inactivated vaccines include inactivated poliovirus (IPV) vaccine, the whole cell pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine, the rabies vaccine, and the hepatitis A virus vaccine.

Therefore, the answer to the question is "Inactivated poliovirus", which is not a live vaccine. It uses the killed version of the poliovirus to stimulate the immune system and provide protection against polio.
