In the general public ‘ s perception, there is a misperception that an allergy to eggs cannot be vaccinated. This perception exposes many egg-sensitizers and their families to the risk of being vaccinated, even by refusing some important vaccines. Indeed, that view is inaccurate.
First, we need to understand why an egg-sensitized person cannot be vaccinated against certain vaccines. Some vaccines are produced using chicken embryos for viral development, such as influenza vaccine. During this process, vaccines may leave trace amounts of egg protein. As a result, there are concerns that the vaccination of egg allergies can lead to serious allergies. However, the situation has been revisited with the continuous improvement of the vaccine production process and further research.
Modern medical research has shown that most eggs-sensitive people can be safely vaccinated against related vaccines such as influenza. Many clinical trials and practical experiences confirm this. For example, several studies have tested influenza vaccinations for populations with different levels of egg allergies, and have found that even individuals who are highly allergic to eggs have a very low probability of having a serious allergic response after vaccination. The actual full-body allergies are very rare and are mostly minor local reactions or short-lived whole-body symptoms, such as red and red, low-heat, etc., in the injection area, which are usually self-relievable in a short period of time and do not pose a serious physical hazard.
For those with an allergy history of eggs, doctors conduct detailed assessments and careful judgement prior to vaccination. In general, if only minor eggs are allergic, i.e. light skin itching, rashes, etc., can be directly vaccinated, but need to be observed in the field for some time after the inoculation in order to deal in a timely manner with possible mild allergic reactions. In the case of a more serious egg allergy, and in the case of serious allergies such as an allergic shock, doctors may take more cautious measures, such as inoculation at sites with allergies and appropriate precautions before vaccination, such as the use of anti-hotamines. However, this does not mean that vaccinations are absolutely prohibited, but are carried out under close surveillance and safe conditions.
With the exception of influenza vaccine, most other vaccines are not directly related to egg allergies. For example, measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR), pox vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, pneumonia vaccine, etc., are not produced in chicken embryos or egg protein, so egg allergies can be assured that they will be vaccinated rather than increase the risk of vaccination because they are allergic.
We cannot deny all vaccinations in general because of allergies to eggs. Scientificly sound inoculation decisions should be made under the professional guidance of a physician, taking into account a combination of factors such as the individual ‘ s allergies, the type of vaccine and the need for vaccination. For egg-sensitized persons, vaccination remains an important means of preventing infectious diseases and, through proper assessment and appropriate preventive measures, they can be protected against the threat of infectious diseases as a result of misperceptions, subject to safety guarantees.
