| | Flumist Vaccine Drug Information Flumist Vaccine |
 | | FluMist is also contraindicated in patients who may be immunosuppressed or have altered or compromised immune status as a consequence of treatment with systemic corticosteroids, alkylating drugs, antimetabolites, radiation, or other immunosuppressive therapies. | | | Children or adolescents who are receiving aspirin therapy or aspirin-containing therapy should not receive FluMist (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). | | | Studies of FluMist in healthy individuals excluded subjects who received any live virus vaccine within one month of enrollment and any inactivated or subunit vaccine within two weeks of enrollment; therefore, health care providers should adhere to these intervals when administering FluMist. |

| | Worldandnation: Hospitals are braced for FluMist |
| | FluMist is marketed as an option for healthy people between the ages of 5 to 49 - especially those who don't like needles. | | | After taking FluMist, a person can have the weakened, but still live, virus in their nasal passages and could spread it to others by coughing or sneezing. | | | The company has said from the beginning that people shouldn't use it if they have vulnerable immune systems or are in close contact with such patients. |

| | USATODAY.com - Flu vaccine shortage could be shot in the arm for FluMist |
| | MedImmune hoped FluMist would be a blockbuster drug, much like its childhood respiratory drug Synagis that had $668 million in sales last year. | | | And the drug — originally billed as a painless alternative for those scared of needles — hasn't been approved for use by toddlers and seniors. | | | "FluMist will probably be the last place to turn," said Philip Nadeau, an analyst with SG Cowen Securities. |

| | There is little information regarding the use of FluMist in people with weakened or compromised immune systems, nor the safety of using it in persons 65 and older, so it is advised that these groups not get the vaccine. | | | Sidney Wolfe, MD, Public Citizen consumer advocate, believes that drug companies are inflaming people’s worries about influenza in order to sell their drugs. | | | According to “PROVE,” (vaccineinfo.net), FluMist should not be given to people who have health problems associated with heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease or metabolic diseases such as diabetes, anemia and other blood disorders. |
