Are babies with food allergies more likely to react to vaccinations?
Quote: The following routine childhood immunizations may contain egg or egg-related proteins: influenza (flu) and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines. In addition, the following non-routine vaccines contain egg protein: yellow fever and typhoid vaccines. /quote MMR vaccine does not actually contain egg or egg products, it contains ‘chick fibrosis cells’ not egg, and it’s rare that a child with an egg allergy reacts to it. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that kids with egg allergies can have the MMR vaccine, but should be monitered in the physicians office a while after being given the vaccine. Yellow fever and typhoid vaccines are given ONLY if you are traveling out of the country. You should be aware of that. Make sure if you decide to skip any vaccines that you get the proper paperwork so that your child can attend preschool and eventually school. Just talk to her pediatrician and they will help you make an informed decision. No one can force you to get your child immunized,
