Rarely an issue: Only the flu vaccine has enough egg material to be concerned about vaccines.All of the available childhood vaccines including the MMR today can be given without worry about food allergy. Your physician can review these issues with you. Any kid can develop an unrelated intolerance to some other part of a vaccine and need caution with continued use.
