FluMist

FluMist is a nasal spray vaccine designed to protect against the flu. Unlike traditional flu shots, which are injected, FluMist is sprayed into the nose. It contains live attenuated (weakened) flu viruses that stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight off the actual virus if exposed. FluMist is typically used for healthy individuals aged 2 to 49, but it's not suitable for everyone, such as pregnant women or those with certain health conditions. Administered annually, it helps reduce the risk of flu and its complications, contributing to overall public health.
