Concerned about flu mist

[bubbamummy]

DH HAS to get flu mist ('normal' flu and H1N1) he is military and has no choice (lucky him )

I am pregnant and I am concerned that the 'mist' will be an issue -putting me and my son at risk (we will NOT be getting vaccinated)

Im sorry if this needs to be merged/moved but I tried to search and couldnt find an answer.

Any sources for him to quote would be great.

The vaccine can shed live virus for up to 3 weeks....I would think that you being pregnant it would be risky to have your DH get the nasalmist.

someone else on mdc with a husband in the military had her husband ask his superiors if he could go to walgreens or another flu clinic and get the injected version and bring back paperwork. just a thought...

1. The first type of vaccine "ready|" for distribution is a Live Attenuated Influenza Virus (LAIV) vaccine. administered by the nasal route. LAIVs are particularly dangerous both to the person who takes them AND to those around them. These vaccines cause people to shed the virus to others and infect them. The virus is then able to reassort or mutate as the infected persons (who may be too young to have any idea what is happening) go about spreading the virus into a varied community of friends, neighbors, family members, playmates, people on the subway, anyone.


People like young children, pregnant mothers, people on immunosuppressive drugs and others are told that they should avoid the live virus, yet it will be disseminated into those very populations with no controls or protections since pregnant women, children, First Responders, health care professionals and people with chronic diseases will receive this "first wave" of LAIVs.

FluMist sheds

Yes, can be shed to all of you.

But the other has mercury. No good choice
