Seasonal Flu Shot (nasal spray) and Asthma
My daughter just received the nasal spray for the seasonal flu shot. I believe she can only receive the injection which is inactivatted. The doctor argued so much about it saying it's ok for her to get the nasal spray. I was wondering if this can bring some negative side effects. She is four years old and suffers from asthma since she was 3 years old.
here's a link to an article that gives more information on the flu shot.

I do believe I've also read up that people at high risk should not get the live vaccine, as it has not been proven to be safe for them. I would certainly try to get the shot over the nasal spray.
The H1N1 shot though does make your arm much more sore then dose the regular seasonal flu shot.
