Daughter has been offered the flu nasal spray she’ll be 3 in January, starts pre pre school
this November however I’m due our 2nd baby any day now.
worried about getting the nasal spray for her at only 2.5 & also a new baby? Is there side effects after, will she get sick from this?
thanks!

My 2.5 year old had hers last week and had no noticeable side effects. Maybe she was a bit grumpier than usual for a day or two, but she didn't run a fever or anything. I am also expecting our second soon, and wanted to make sure no one in our household contracted flu!

One of my three had a high temperature for a day and had about a 4hr nap the day after their first nasal flu vaccine. But that was it. They've each had it numerous times now and have otherwise been fine, maybe just a bit sniffly for a couple of days sometimes, but felt okay.
