FluMist uses live, attenuated or weakened viruses within the vaccine, delivered as a nasal mist, to help stimulate an immune response that is designed to closely resemble the bodys natural response to an influenza infection. The traditional flu shot uses inactivated, or killed, viruses to formulate the vaccine and is delivered by an intramuscular injection.
