FluMist Quadrivalent is a nasal spray vaccine designed to protect against influenza. It is intended for use in individuals aged 2 to 49 years old and is administered by doctors, healthcare clinics, and pharmacies. The vaccine should not be given to those with severe allergies to eggs or any inactive ingredient in the vaccine, individuals who have had a life-threatening reaction to influenza vaccinations, or children and adolescents who take aspirin or medicines containing aspirin. Common side effects include a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, and fever over 100°F.
FluMist Quadrivalent is manufactured by AstraZeneca and is available in the United States. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving the vaccine, especially if there are pre-existing medical conditions such as wheezing, Guillain-Barr syndrome, weakened immune system, heart, kidney, or lung problems, diabetes, pregnancy, nursing, or if taking medication used to treat influenza. The vaccine is intended to help protect against influenza but may not prevent the disease in everyone who receives it.
