Back
Timing for Influenza Vaccine Admin
Front
When should you offer influenza vaccines? Soon after vaccine becomes available - no later than October; Offer any time you encounter a pt eligible to receive vaccine;

Influenza Vaccination of Persons with Egg Allergy
Front
1. Persons with a history of egg allergy who
have experienced only hives after exposure to
egg should receive influenza vaccine.

hives after egg exposure, may receive any
licensed and recommended influenza vaccine.

influenza vaccine is a contraindication to future
receipt of the vaccine.

Front
Types A and B cause human disease
Yearly changes: responds to avoid human antibodies, shifts- major change in Type A antigen
drifts- minor change in A or B antigens
