PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT GET A FLU SHOT:
People who should carefully consider the flu vaccine:
Babies under 6 months old
Anyone with severe, life-threatening allergies to any ingredients (other than egg proteins) contained in the flu vaccine. This may include gelatin or antibiotics.
Those who have had a severe allergic reaction to a flu shot in the past. Talk to a doctor before getting vaccinated again in the future.
Those who have allergies to vaccine ingredients (other than eggs)
Those who have had Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a severe illness that can lead to paralysis
Those who are under the weather at their scheduled flu shot time. This doesn’t mean you should not get vaccinated, just that you should think about putting it off until you feel better.
