is approved only for healthy people aged 5 to 49

Well ---- it's "approved" only for healthy people --- my understanding is that it's a live virus and shouldn't be given to those at risk for getting the flu --- because the live virus is dangerous for them --- but what if the healthy person passes the live virus onto them?

...but what if the healthy person passes the live virus onto them?
Form what I've been reading, between replies, the injected person doesn't get the flu at all.
Perhaps if the particular strain in effect that year isn't included in their innoculation they may get the flu.
Even then, based upon the information I've read, they shouldn't get it real bad because they've already got partial protection from the innoculation.
