Is it a good idea to take flumist if i have a minor mvp (mitral valve prolapse)?

No problem...: There is no danger of taking FluMist to this minor abnormality of your mitral valve. Flumist contains a live, weakened flu virus, so you should not take this form of the vaccine if you have a problem with your immune system. You should also avoid the flu vaccine if you have had a severe allergic reaction to eggs. Your heart should be just fine!

Yes: The mitral valve prolapse should not have any effect on the immunization. Similarly, the flutist is very unlikely to have any effect on the mitral valve.

Depends: In the 2017-18 flu season the protection rate from the flu mist is so bad that most centers do not recommend its use.
