Can the nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV (FluMist®) be given to people when they are ill?
The nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV (FluMist®) can be given to people with minor illnesses (e.g., diarrhea or mild upper respiratory tract infection with or without fever). However, if you have nasal congestion you may want to delay vaccination until the nasal congestion is reduced. Talk with your provider.
