Egg allergy is not a contraindication to receiving the influenza vaccine and people with egg allergy, including anaphylaxis, can be safely vaccinated with influenza vaccines.

People with a history of anaphylaxis to egg can be vaccinated with a full vaccine dose in medical facilities with staff experienced in recognising and treating anaphylaxis. All staff performing vaccinations should be able to recognise and treat anaphylaxis.

Our practice has anaphylaxis response kits in each consulting room at all times.
