I went to get my free flu shot at work today, and found out chicken eggs were involved in the process (I had to answer whether or not I was allergic to eggs before receiving the shot).

I asked if they had any alternatives, and they said they didn’t because they were too expensive. I ended up getting the flu shot they offered.

Do you get the standard flu shot, or a vegan variant? How much do you pay, if the latter, and where can you find it?

Edit 1 year later: I took FluBlok this time around, which doesn’t use eggs. Offered at my local supermarket pharmacy and quite a few other places nearby.

    “He has only forbidden to you … the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] … there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (2:173)

    “Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine … But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (5:3)
