Who Should NOT Be Vaccinated:

Some people should not be vaccinated without first consulting a physician. These people include:

• Those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs.
• Those who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination in the past.
• Those who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) within six weeks of receiving the influenza vaccine previously.
• Children less than six months of age (the influenza vaccine is not approved for use in this age group).
• Those who have a moderate or severe illness with a fever should wait to get vaccinated until their symptoms lessen.

If you have questions about whether you should be vaccinated, consult a healthcare provider.
