The correct answer is A. Newborns and infants
Newborns and infants must wait until 6 months of age before receiving an influenza vaccine. In the past, people who were allergic to eggs were not recommended to get the influenza vaccine. However, now the quantity of residual egg proteins in vaccines is so low that even those with severe egg allergies can get vaccinated.
