Of course, if you are not the average person (like my friend) then your risk is far from negligible.

Sure, if you've got an allergy to eggs.

An egg allergy signs you up for the more severe reactions. You don't have to be allergic to anything to have the more minor problems. Something to understand is that the minor reactions are neglible compared to the flu but they're still pretty annoying, which is why people like me don't bother with the shots since the impirical evidence is that we won't get the flu anyway the higher risk is in getting the shot.

Read the post again. It has nothing to do with egg allergy.
