Safety of MMR vaccination evaluated in children with food and gelatin allergy in Iran
The study concludes that a gelatin-free vaccine is preferable for allergic patients. In cases where such a vaccine isn't available, a skin test with the vaccine is recommended before full-dose administration. The findings emphasize the importance of considering family history and intradermal vaccine tests in managing gelatin allergies during vaccinations.
