GUEVARA-SALDANA, Liliana et al. Myths and facts about vaccine allergy. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.2, pp.96-102. ISSN 0120-2448.

In Latin America there are several myths about conventional vaccines, mainly in patients with food allergy. This article aims to review some of the existing myths, their origins and propose a more adequate clinical approach. Likewise, some guidelines about the management of allergic patients that require vaccination are proposed. Finally, in patients with a history of food allergy, where the concept of an allergy specialist is most of the time required, the supply of vaccines should not be interrupted. (Acta Med Colomb 2019; 44: 96-102).

Keywords : vaccines; food allergy; myths.
