A member asked:
Would you recommend flumist? how does flumist work and can you recommend it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is appropriate: For many individuals. It is a vaccine for influenza administered by inhalation instead of injection. However, it is a live virus so it should not be administered to those who have a compromised immune system, or who live with such patients.
