Based on the latest guidelines from the Australiasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, influenza vaccines can be safely administered in community vaccination clinics (which may or may not have direct medical practitioner supervision) to those with and without egg allergy (including egg anaphylaxis). This is a single dose, followed by the recommended 15 minute observation period. Please refer to our MVEC: Allergy and Immunisation page for further details.
