Who Should Not Be Immunized?

Immunizations are generally very safe and effective. The main reasons for a person not to have a vaccine is if they have had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of that vaccine or to an ingredient in the vaccine that was also present in a different vaccine. People who have had very severe allergic reactions to egg should not have the yellow fever or flu vaccines other than under specialist care as there may be small amounts of egg protein in these vaccines. Certain vaccines are not usually given to women who are pregnant. They may not be suitable for people who are immunosuppressed. If you are unwell with a high temperature (fever), vaccination is usually put off until you are well again.
