Yellow fever vaccination in egg-allergic patients

Abstract

Yellow Fever Vaccine is contraindicated in egg-allergic people. However, under certain circumstances, its administration may be possible and advisable. We present two clinical cases of egg allergic children who were vaccinated against yellow fever following a short staggered administration protocol of the vaccine at a specialized hospital Unit. We explain the vaccination protocol applied in the Allergy Unit of Rio-Hortega University Hospital, Spain, with the coordination of The International Vaccination Centre.
