Influenza vaccination in those with potential egg allergy
All currently available influenza vaccines, with the exceptions of recombinant and cell-culture-based inactivated influenza vaccines, are prepared using embryonated egg culture and can potentially provoke allergic and anaphylactic reactions.
For those who report that they can eat lightly cooked scrambled eggs, vaccination can proceed without precaution or observation. Those who have experienced only hives can also receive any influenza vaccine appropriate for their age and health status.
People who have experienced symptoms such as hypotension, wheezing, nausea, or vomiting, or reactions requiring emergency attention or epinephrine after eating eggs or egg-containing foods can also receive any influenza vaccine appropriate for their age and health status and also do not need to be observed. However, the vaccine should be administered by a provider who can recognize and manage severe allergic reactions.
