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 "Awful!!! Got the FluMist and my 8 yr old son got it too. 2 days later, I had the flu! Fever, cough, mucus, sore throat, headache, weakness, etc., it has been awful!!! I expect to be sick for at least 2 more days!!! So about a week of illness! My son was sick for 2.5 days! All of the above and no appetite!!! I'm really annoyed!!!!! Thanks for charging me $65 to get really sick and miss work and school!!!! Never again!!!"

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."
