Mrs Webmuppet Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi Omleteers, I'm after picking the brains of the medical Omleteers here goes: LMW is at boarding school and we have been advised that they would like all the kids to be jabbed against 'flu whilst at school (it would be done at school in their health centre). This does seem sensible as 'flu would go round the school like wildfire but I have some concerns. Both myself and Mr W are allergic to eggs (daft I know seeing as we have chickens) and LMW has only ever eaten egg twice ( other than in the form of pancakes /cake etc) she hasn't had a reaction to egg on those occaisons.But I'm worried that as I wouldn't be there to watch over her ( the MMR jab ended up with LMW and I sat under the watchful eye of various medics for nearly an hour after the jab due to the uncertainity over whether she would have a reaction). What is the current guidance? Some advice would be most welcome. I've read stuff on the internet but most of the sites seem to be American. I should add LMW is a very healthy young lady. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It would be best to get allergy test, talk to your GP, I had the results of mine in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 if she is able to eat pancakes she is unlikely to be allergic to eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
