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.
I did end up taking it, but I think next year I’ll look for the “Flucelvax Quadrivalent” vaccine that uses mammalian cells, and seems less harmful to living beings. I wouldn’t consider myself directly responsible either, but if I have the option where I’m not indirectly responsible either, that seems even better to me.
