The Adverse Reactions to Vaccines Practice Parameter 2012 update, consistent with new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), [2] recommended that egg-allergic persons receive injectable inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) as a single dose without prior vaccine skin testing and be observed for 30 minutes afterwards for any possible allergic reaction. Furthermore, the update recommended that, if the reaction to the ingestion of eggs was hives only, the vaccine could be administered in a primary care setting, whereas if the reaction to the ingestion of eggs was more severe, the vaccine should be administered in an allergist's office.
