What's the Flu Shot Alternative for Egg Allergies

Believe it or not, there is an alternative to the flu shot with eggs and the flu mist with eggs.  The thing is, you just may not like the flu shot alternative very much.  Instead of getting the flu shot, many people with egg allergies are taking tamiflu as directed by their doctor every single day of the flu season.

It appears that Tamiflu may have serious side effects such as Stevens-Johnson's syndrome and Tamiflu may linked to several childhood behavioral issues. Tamiflu may also cause nausea and nightmares in children.  All of that being said, I wouldn't make the decision lightly to give any child Tamiflu daily to prevent the flu or H1N1.  I think Tamiflu may be a life safer for some people, I'm just hoping for a safer alternative to the flu shot than Tamiflu.
