Who should get the LAIV (nasal spray) flu vaccine (for their seasonal flu vaccine, rather than by injection route)?
On October 24, 2007, CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended expanding the use of LAIV to include healthy children ages 2–4 years old (24–59 months old) without a history of asthma or recurrent wheezing. The vaccine continues to be recommended for healthy persons ages 5–49 years who are not pregnant. “Healthy” indicates persons who do not have an underlying medical condition that predisposes them to influenza complications.
