Influenza viruses grow well in eggs (live chicken embryos), so they have been used for many decades to grow some strains of influenza in research labs. The virus is grown in the eggs, then harvested and inactivated for use in the vaccine. Therefore it is possible for the vaccine to have trace amounts of egg proteins in it which could cause anaphylactic shock if injected into someone who is allergic to eggs.
Thank you for the info. What I'm specifically wondering is if getting the vaccine with the egg protein every year would somehow mutate in your system and cause someone to become allergic to eggs over time. I didn't get the flu shot the following year after I was diagnosed, but I remember the year after the flu vax no longer used egg proteins for the delivery system. I wondered why the change and if there was any relation. Egg allergies are usually more common in children and many outgrow it. It's rare to develop an egg allergy later in life.
Question: were you getting regular flu shots before you developed the alergy?
The reason I ask is because I saw a clip from RFK Jr saying that if vaccines contain an adjuvant to provoke an immune response, you can end up developing an allergy to whatever is in your bloodstream at the same time.
I didn't figure it out immediately because I had come down with a stomach virus just before the reactions started. The first time I had the reaction I thought it was the stomach bug returning, but then it continued. I'm sure I consumed a regular amount of products with egg as an ingredient, but I only ate eggs on their own twice a week, in a salad during the week, and for breakfast on the weekends. That was how I figured out it was eggs causing the issue, because I would get sick after those two meals. Doc didn't initially think it was an allergy, but maybe food intolerance since i was having stomach issues and not a classic allergic reaction. Was referred to a GI doc who couldn't find any underlying cause after both an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Doc then referred me to the allergist and it turned out I was allergic to both the egg white and the yolk. I will still eat products that have egg, and the only way to tell the allergy is still present is if I overeat. One scoop of ice cream is cool, beyond that not so much. Grateful it's not too serious, but have wondered if the flu shots were to blame, especially now with all the clot shot issues.
I'm sorry, but I have no answers to your questions about developing allergies from the vaccines. I can say that some influenza viruses grow very well in chicken embryos, and some don't. So which influenza strains are chosen for the vaccine in any particular year (whether any were grown in eggs or not) will determine whether they ask about egg allergies or not.
Don’t consider that a factor- my post always missing the most important word. 🤷♀️
I can’t tell if my reply actually went to you - but I had the flu vaccine at 21 yo and got sick/flu after so never took another one after that.
