A member asked:
I have allergies to egg which means whenever i eat egg, it will not be digested easily and will get stomach pain. the pain will go away after i have the gastric tablet. so my question is, with this condition is it advised to take the flu shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK, but...: Gastrointestinal intolerance isn't usually due to allergy, so probably it is safe to have the flu shot. However, if the stomach problem has been evaluated professionally and was thought to be a true allergy, you probably shouldn't have the flu shot. Check with your personal physician.
