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 "Received the FluMist vaccine 2 days ago. Started to have a runny nose that evening that progressed to nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, and feeling drained. Still feeling ill. Might as well take my chances with the flu!! Never again."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "I received the flu mist on a Thursday evening. By Friday night, I had congestion in my head, a sore throat, and just an all-around sick/drained feeling. I get sick easily and had a feeling I would react this way, but was assured by healthcare providers it was the better route. After listening to the benefits, I decided to give it a try."
