Flu Vaccine and Egg Allergy

Flu season is here and the best way to protect yourself and others from catching the flu is to receive the vaccine! For those with egg allergy, not to worry, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology and American Academy of Pediatrics state that “no special precautions are required for the administration of influenza vaccine to egg-allergic patients no matter how severe the egg allergy.”  We are offering the flu vaccine to our patients 18 years of age and older. For our pediatric patients, please visit your pediatrician to receive the vaccine.
