Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vaccines provide a safe and effective approach to prevent infectious and allergic diseases. Allergic reactions to vaccines and drug products have become an important feature of modern day clinical practice. Most of these reactions are mild, but healthcare providers should be aware of the potential serious adverse reactions. The diagnosis of vaccine allergy is usually based on a detailed history and physical examination. Prevention, avoidance, the use of alternative agents, desensitization, and premedication remain the cornerstones of therapy even as more refined diagnostic and management tools are being developed. Additional studies that are aimed at identifying other causes of immediate hypersensitivity after immunization with live virus vaccines are warranted.
