  1. biologic agents come from chick embryos.
  2. viruses are found in all eggs.
  3. chicken egg cells are close to human cells.

Answer to Question 1

1
Many biologic agents are prepared with animal serum or chick embryos; thus people with known allergies may have sensitivity reactions to these preparations.

Answer to Question 2

3
Few adults obtain the booster immunization they need unless they are in the military, travel to foreign countries, or work in the food industry.
