I read the list and the of all those listed I only saw one that MAY contain a latex cap.

FLUVIRIN® Novartis Vaccines
0.5 ml prefilled syringe
Warning: The tip caps of the FLUVIRIN® prefilled syringes may contain natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in latex sensitive individuals. |
All the rest listed contained no latex. The important thing is you should tell the nurse giving the shot of any allergies.
