Content of ovalbumin in influenza vaccines?


what is the exact content of ovalbumin in the following influenza vaccines: Vaxigrip, Fluvirin and Fluarix (2005-6 vaccines)

Fluvirin has 10ng of ovalbumin in dose 0.5ml
Vaxigrip has 11ng of ovalbumin in dose 0.5ml
Fluarix has 10ng of ovalbumin in dose 0.5ml

Patients with egg allergy can safely receive the influenza vaccine in a 2-dose protocol when the vaccine preparation contains no more than 1.2 碌g/mL of egg protein(ova albumin).

I only worked with Fluarix still had the contents, hope it helps. you see that this one has less than 0.15 mcg per dose


FLUARIX has been standardized according to USPHS requirements for the 2005鈥?006 influenza season and is formulated to contain 45 micrograms (mcg) hemagglutinin (HA) per 0.5 mL dose, in the recommended ratio of 15 mcg HA of each of the following 3 strains: A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/New York/55/2004 (H3N2) (an A/California/7/2004-like strain), and B/Jiangsu/10/2003 (a B/Shanghai/361/2002-like strain). Each 0.5 mL dose also contains octoxynol-10 (TRITON庐 X-100) 鈮?.085 mg, 伪-tocopheryl hydrogen succinate 鈮?.1 mg, and polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) 鈮?.415 mg. The vaccine is formulated without preservatives. Thimerosal is used at the early stages of manufacture and is removed by subsequent purification steps to <1.25 mcg mercury per dose. Each dose may also contain residual amounts of hydrocortisone 鈮?.0016 mcg, gentamicin sulfate 鈮?.15 mcg, ovalbumin 鈮? mcg, formaldehyde 鈮?0 mcg, and sodium deoxycholate 鈮?0 mcg from the manufacturing process.
