No
MedHead Confidence Score: 6
Amount Saved: $33 savings regular flu shot v. egg free flu shot
MedHead Message:
If you’re allergic to eggs, the regular flu shot works just fine, and the number of allergic reactions is negligible compared to the egg-free Flublok option. Hey, $33 can buy you an excellent breakfast for two! (minus the omelet)
