What protocol to be followed by a 20-year-old while getting an influenza vaccine?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Everyone six months of age and older should get the influenza (flu) vaccine every season with rare exceptions. Vaccination to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications is crucial for those at a higher risk of developing serious flu complications. A few available influenza vaccines include the Quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), Recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4), or Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV). The best time to get vaccinated is during the fall season every year. Ideally, everyone should be vaccinated by then.

Most influenza vaccines are manufactured by growing influenza viruses in embryonated chicken eggs and contain trace amounts of egg protein. However, the cell-culture-based inactivated vaccine (ccIIV4) and the Recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4) are egg-free. Therefore, people with egg allergies can receive any licensed influenza vaccine which is appropriate for their age and health status. A previous severe allergic reaction to an influenza vaccine component except egg protein is not indicated to receiving the flu vaccine and vaccines containing that component. Vaccine components-related information can be found in package inserts of the packing containing the vaccine.

Please let me know if you have any doubts so that further guidance can be discussed. I hope this has helped you.
