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

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.
