[MCOH-EH] Question re: Process for flu vaccination for those with Egg Allergies

[Swift, Melanie]

We provide FluBlok. However we have not received any yet. So far each year it has been the last variety to be shipped, arriving in November or December.

We have to tell people with egg allergies to go ahead and request an exemption, as there is no guarantee we will have egg free vaccine before the “vaccination deadline.”

Have other places had the same experience?

I am curious whether your employee health / occ med departments routinely provide egg free options during flu shot season to Ee's.  If not, what is your process:  Refer to Primary MD, or Allergist??  Our organization plan is to get the shot or mask the entire flu season.
