Loss of nasal spray vaccine sets up bad flu season; Pediatricians expect lower vaccination rates with only a shot available
With flu season rapidly approaching, many doctors and public health experts are concerned the lack of an influenza nasal spray option this fall will lead to lower rates of vaccination among children and a worse flu season.In late June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices recommended against the use of the FluMist nasal spray, after the inhaled vaccine showed almost no effectiveness in preventing the flu over the past three seasons.Although the FluMist vaccine can still be sold in the U.S., it is unlikely that many pediatric clinics will offer the nasal spray, leaving the traditional flu shot as the only option.
