Anaphylaxis and the Influenza Vaccine More than a dozen studies over the past few decades have undermined the once common fear that influenza vaccines containing egg proteins could induce reactions such as anaphylaxis in people with egg allergies.

Still, many vaccine creators continue to list egg allergies as a contraindication on product labels, and recent research suggested that some patients (or their parents) and some doctors still have reservations despite the very real risk (particularly to children) of neglecting such vaccines.
