Who should not get a flu vaccine?

Winter is approaching, which means it's flu-vaccine time. Wondering which family members should not get a flu vaccine? Here's help.

Take action:
The following groups should not get a flu shot: children younger than six months of age and those with severe, life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient in the vaccine. This might include gelatine, antibiotics and egg protein (most, but not all, types of flu vaccine contain a small amount of egg protein). Also avoid the vaccine if you've had Guillian-Barre syndrome in the past, or if you're not feeling well.
