OK People, do you know what's in the Flu Shot this year? I didn't either until I went to get mine and a warning came up in MYCHART that I am highly allergic to it and can go into anaphylactic shock. It's called Perflutren lipid microspheres (Definity) is a preparation of liposome-encapsulated microspheres containing perflutren that was developed as an ultrasound (US) contrast agent for use in echocardiography to enhance images. A shout out to Jennifer at Dr Dufour's office for catching this.
