A true “live vaccine” is different from “live-attenuated” vaccine. (you’re right re the link, it doesn’t make the differentiation clear and is poor referencing on my part.)
Due to the increased risks of “live vaccines” (and the ability to attenuate the infective agent in the majority of cases) they are rare but they do exist and are the subject of research.
For example:
Used for military personnel: Adenovirus vaccine contains live adenovirus

A Study to Assess the Safety of Live Intranasal Sendai Virus Vaccine in Children and Toddlers
(for “croup” rather than disease caused by sendai virus)
Using a live unattenuated dose of COVID to stimulate immunity would fall into the live vaccination category.
