Egg Allergy and 12 Month Vaccinations (UK)

[MermaidTail7]

Does anyone have experience of having a child with a diagnosed egg allergy and having the 12 month vaccinations at all?

12moDD has an egg allergy, NHS website says it's safe for her to have the vaccinations because it's chicks, rather than egg protien used in the production of the vaccine, but my vaccine nurse and health visitor have said its only OK for egg intolerant children, and children with egg allergies can't have them.

I'm waiting for our GP to call me to confirm one way or another, but given the conflicting advice I'm a bit nervous and woukd appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience of this already... TIA xx

Talk with your GP and ask for their advice in regards to the severity of your own childs allergy.

My oldest has a severe allergy to egg yolk and breaks out with suppourting hives that need hospital dressings if he handles anything with yolk in, is as sick as a dog and may stop breathing if its ingested. Chicken makes him ill too. Worringly what shows on the outside is the same as happens internally. He can NOT have any drugs that may contain egg yolk and could not have the MMR vaccine.

Youngest just swells up and needs careful monitoring just in case he has a severe reaction. [Anaphylaxis to legummes, nuts & milk carries epipen increadibly intolerant to eggs, fish and shellfish] He had to wait till his IgE results stopped being sky high before he could have MMR [age 5] and took a course of anti-histimines before, had the jabs done at hospital just in case and had to wait for most of the day there to be sure he was okay. He was fine.
