Nasal flu vaccine

[IncyWincySpiderOnRepeat]

Hi ladies

DD (2 years) is booked to have the nasal flu vaccine on Saturday but I'm having a bit of a wobble as to whether it is the right thing to do...

Anyone have any experience of this? Did your little ones suffer any side effects from this vaccine?

Any advice greatly appreciated..

This worries me as my dd is immune suppressed. She’s had the jab but her entire class, along with other classes at school are due the nasal vaccine after half term. I’m worried about the shedding. Her immunologist has told me its totally fine though. Hasn’t convinced me. Still confused as to whether to keep her off school....

I guess as your daughter's had the injected vaccine she should be protected from any shedding from her classmates as both the nasal spray and the injection protect against the same strains of the virus?

DGD had her first one last week. She's 2. Was snotty a few hours after but then was up most of the first night crying and very unsettled. Was snotty the next day but a lot better. DD wasn't really expecting her to feel so grotty after it.

I had vaccine on Saturday and felt crap in the night too. Aching muscles, sickly, sore throat. Also lots better when I woke up. I've had th vaccine for years but never had this much reaction to it. It's not that I've caught a coincidental bug that DGD might have had because I live at the other end of the country and haven't seen her for a few weeks.
