A severe allergy to eggs is a contraindication for receiving the annual influenza vaccination, as the vaccine is prepared using eggs. Patients with egg allergies can have an allergic reaction to the vaccine. The other patients should receive the annual influenza vaccination. The 65-year-old woman, young child with cystic fibrosis, and pregnant woman are all at increased risk for complications from the flu and would benefit from receiving the vaccine.
