Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The annual influenza vaccination is generally recommended for most people, including those with chronic conditions, pregnant women, and the elderly. However, individuals with a severe allergy to eggs may have a contraindication to certain flu vaccines, as some are produced using egg-based technology. Therefore, the nurse would question administering the vaccine to a patient with a severe egg allergy unless a suitable egg-free vaccine option is available.
