FluMist, a quadrivalent (four-strain) live attenuated (as opposed to inactivated) nasal spray flu vaccine, has been recommended for children as a painless alternative to the inactivated flu vaccine injection. However, for the 2016-2017 flu season, which runs from approximately Oct. 2016 to Mar. 2017, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted that the nasal spray should not be used, while continuing to recommend that everyone over 6 months of age be vaccinated against the flu.
