I was just told about a Flu Mist that is available. My friends ped told her it was more effective than the shot. Does anyone have experience with this? I am going to look for some info on it.
My 4 year old alreay got her shot...but I may be interested in this for the rest of the family.

I keep meaning to ask our doctor about it for ourselves. A few years ago when there was a major flu vaccine shortage, I had started looking into it and then managed to get DH and myself vaccinated at the Senior Citizen's Center.

It's my understanding it's a live virus as opposed to a killed one. So I have some reservations about it until I speak with someone in the know...

Our docs have already told us not to use the flu mist, including myself and my husband. We were told that it contains a live virus.

Tracey is correct: DO NOT USE FLU MIST in a home w/CF. This is per the manufacturer, it is contraindicated for Cystic Fibrosis.

Flu Mist is a live vaccine, you can shed live virus after using it.
