•At-home flu vaccine approved by FDA — what to know
77% Informative
FluMist is a nasal spray version of the annual flu vaccine that helps prevent illness caused by influenza A and B.
Until now, FluMist could be administered only by health care providers in pharmacies and other health care facilities.
The FDA has approved FluMist for use at home, but it will take some time for home delivery.
It's possible that the new approval may even inspire pharmaceutical companies to pursue the development of nasal vaccines for other respiratory infections.
