>Julie-What is your source of information about the gluten in flu vaccine?
My source is my local doctor (Trethart in this case), and the local asthma &
allergy foundation. I believe there was also a note about it sent to the
Canadian Celiac Association. Both of my doctors were aware of the eggs, but
only Trethart was aware of the gluten. Hope this helps.
