QuoteThe Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), passed the measure recommending Protein Science's FluBlok for the 2013-14 season in a 13 to 0 vote.
Quote
FluBlok is produced with an insect virus and recombinant DNA technology. Its only flu virus component is hemagglutinin, which is produced by infecting cultures of insect cells with a baculovirus.
This means
zero egg protein.
Because this is not a mammalian system, too, the risks are much lower (IMO) in terms of long-term unknown impact.
