flu shot question
I searched old posts and can't find the answer, but ds is 7 months old and has never had eggs. My ped highly recommeds getting him a flu shot but how do I know if he is allergic to the egg in it if he's never had eggs. I'm so on the fence about getting it for him.

Re: flu shot question
My pediatrician told me to start eggs with her before the shot to check for a reaction. I'm not going to do this because I was advised with my first dd to begin eggs around 9 months (wasn't an issue with the flu shot). 2nd dd is not even 6 months yet--so no flu shot for her this year.
ETA...I'm just not comfortable starting eggs this early. Just my own hang-up, I guess.

Re: flu shot question
I'm not starting him on eggs either and they said wait 20 minutes after his shot to see if he has a reaction. I don't know if I feel comfortable doing that.
Thanks.
