Who should get the nasal spray (live attenuated) influenza vaccine?
The nasal spray vaccine is approved for people from 2 through 49 years of age who are not pregnant and do not have certain health conditions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people ages 2 to 24 years of age be among the first to get the vaccine, as this age group has been the most affected by the disease. Note that Auburn University will only administer the vaccine to people from age 10 to age 49. Please review the CDC’s vaccine information statement for more information on the benefits, risks and contraindications of the nasal spray H1N1 flu vaccine.
