How are you dealing with HCWs who have a longstanding “history of severe egg allergy”, and ACIP’s recommendation that anybody >6 mo, regardless of severity of previous allergic reactions to egg, get any of the licensed vaccine that is otherwise appropriate for the recipient’s age and health status?  See:  https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/recs/grade/influenza-egg-allergy.html

 

Thanks
