features is not a contraindication). Relative CI = immunosuppression, egg allergy (egg is present in flu vaccine and MMR vaccine).
Complications include:
• Swelling and discomfort at injection site
• Mild fever and malaise
• Some vaccines, e.g. MMR, are followed by a mild form of the disease 7-10 days later
• More serious reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur but are very rare
