4. Nasal spray flu vaccine safe for kids with allergies
The new flu vaccine given via nasal spray is deemed safe for kids, even those with egg allergies, says a new U.K. study. The intranasal flu vaccine contains live but weakened flu virus and a small amount of egg protein--and it works well to prevent flu. What's more, it is not administered via injection. The study published in the journal BMJ also found that even for kids with well-controlled asthma, the nasal vaccine is safe. Yearly, kids are recommended to get the flu vaccine, as the virus the spreads it tend to change over time. The U.S. guidelines recommend both the nasal spray and the injection, with no preference for one or the other. (gmanetwork.com)
