I'm concerned about this Flu Mist vaccine, but then again, I don't want my son to be one of the very few without it -- especially since those kids who get the vaccine will have a 'live virus' circulating in their bodies and will be studying and playing around him. Any thoughts or suggestions?

My kids couldn’t get the flu mist last few years because my father took medication that wouldn’t allow him to be around it for three days or something (he lived with us) and they never got the flu. Either from everyone being so protected, or even from playing.
The average flu virus vaccine doesn’t concern me really. It’s the swine flu one that does simply because I’ve read too many reports that it is genetically (artificially) altered.

Our county is giving the Flu Mist vaccine as well. Our kids will get it this year; they’ve never gotten flu or the vaccine in the past. I don’t know why I changed my mind; maybe just the ease of having it w/o a shot which they hate. Maybe all the hype has gotten to me.

As far as I know, only those with compromised immune response should stay away from the flu mist.
