For Influenza Prophylaxis "My son got the FluMist and was a little tired for a couple of days and loss of appetite. It's now day 4, and he has a fever of 100.5, not too high. We will see how long it takes for it to go away. My 6-year-old had tiredness, sneezing, and stuffiness and keeps taking her temperature but seems to be okay. My 9-year-old just has some stuffiness. I wonder if body weight has anything to do with it since they all received the same dose. Maybe the dosage should be tailored to body weight."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "My 10-year-old daughter had the flu mist for the first time. Usually, she gets the injection, but her doctor ran out of the injection, so I said, 'Okay, give her the mist.' NEVER AGAIN!! We will stick to injections from now on. She got the mist on 10/9/15, and the next day she woke up with pain in her legs and weakness in her body, a bad cold, sneezing a lot, and mucus. By night, she was coughing, stuffy, and having trouble breathing. The only reason she had no fever was that I immediately gave her Motrin 400 that her doctor gave her. I don't like the mist, and that's the last time she will get the mist. If you're here looking for reviews to see if you should get the mist or shot, the best advice I can give you is to stick to the shot."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "I got the FluMist vaccination two weeks ago, and I'm still experiencing the side effects. I've stayed congested and have done nothing but sneeze and cough."
