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.

    Sorry for trying to reduce animal suffering, and posting on a vegan board about it. If you don’t understand the worldview, hold off on judgement
