Delayed Anaphylaxis to the flu vaccine unrelated to known non-viral components

SUMMARY

On February 4, 2010 the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted for universal flu vaccination to expand protection against the flu throughout the United States. In addition to this administration expansion, six new influenza vaccines have been introduced into the market possibly introducing new allergenic potentials. We report two cases of delayed anaphylaxis to the flu vaccine.
