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."
