An allergy to chicken protein

Complications can be avoided by clearly follow the instructions that are in the box with the vaccine. Must inculcate educated healthcare workers. The main contraindication influenza vaccine in one - it is an allergy to chicken protein.

All flu vaccines are made in eggs, all vaccines "Grippol" concentration of this protein concentrations below the permissible twice. WHO estimates that 2-3 percent of the world's people with allergies to chicken protein, and according to some, even up to 10 percent. People who are sensitive to this protein, a lot. At home in the institute every year we provide training for physicians involved in immunization. Doctor who received the vaccine, it is necessary to know whether the patient is allergic to chicken protein. Everyone should know about this contraindication. But people may not realize that they have an allergy: she had not manifested itself or on its manifestations are not paying attention.

There is a rule: after vaccination doctor must observe the patient for 45 minutes. Allergic reactions to the vaccine are developing rapidly. After 45 minutes, the graft can be safely let go. WHO does not consider the reaction that emerged later - there is already a vaccine at anything. And that tells the boy, who suffered angioedema in Stavropol? He grafted and went to class.
