Best Answer

There is not a universal influenza vaccine approved or marketed in the US yet, but scientists are working on one and getting close. It is highly unlikely that there will be human blood products or traces of them in a universal vaccine, just like there are none in the current flu vaccines. Currently there can be traces of egg/chicken protein that may have come from chicken blood components in flu vaccines, since the flu virus is cultivated in chicken eggs before ready for inclusion in the vaccines. The amount is negligible, and even some people with allergy to eggs can go ahead and get the vaccine due to the tiny traces it contains (with some precautions. See the related question below for more on that.)
