...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.

I think the injected person gets a killed virus which they bill build up antibodies against that then should save them from a live virus but the mist is a live virus which is why it's only approved for the healthy because they can easily fight of the live virus --- mist or wild. I don't see what stops that live mist virus from getting spread around --- or why would they tell healthy health care workers who work with unhealthy patients not to take that vaccine.
