People with "egg allergies" are shit out of luck on getting the H1N1 vaccine in Johnson County.

KCTV 5 reports that 2,300 doses of the H1N1 vaccine has arrived in JoCo, and the top of the list to get a shot are emergency responders and children. But those with egg allergies?

"Some are still not eligible, like those with egg allergies," [Shawnee Mission Medical Center spokeswoman Robin] Harrold

said. "But the injectible will be available for those at high risk.

Pregnant nurses can take the injectible, too."


The vaccine is made from eggs. So yeah, feel your pain.

And in good news for Kansas City's 2- to 4-year-olds, doses of the vaccine have arrived.

Anybody know where I can get a fake ID?
