Check this out! from the CDC:
"If a person reports a severe (anaphylactic) allergy to latex, vaccines supplied in vials or syringes that contain natural rubber should not be administered unless the benefit of vaccination outweighs the risk for a potential allergic reaction."
REMEMBER that latex cross reacts with a lot of foods and nuts, including peanuts. THIS MAY BE A GOOD TABLE FOR EXEMPTIONS!
The following table lists each vaccine and whether it has latex rubber, check the package insert for the vaccine in question.
