Vicki,
Found this info. from the website of Scott & White Hospital about the VIPS (Vaccination and Influenza Prevention in Schools) program:
FluMist® is thimerosal free and contains live, weakened flu virus. A very small amount (0.1 ml) of vaccine is sprayed into each side of the nose.
The inactivated flu vaccine is a killed virus vaccine that may contain thimerosal. A small amount (0.5 ml) is given by shot into the muscle of the upper arm.
Both vaccines are licensed and approved by the FDA.
Healthy children will receive the FluMist™ vaccine. Children who have any chronic medical condition that disqualifies them from getting FluMist™ will receive the flu shot. Some examples of medical conditions when flu shot will be given are:
Use of any medications for asthma or reactive airway disease within the last year.
Chronic aspirin therapy.
Immunosuppression due to an illness such as cancer or AIDS.
Living in a house with a very severely immunosuppressed person (such as bone marrow transplant).
Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant within six weeks of receiving the vaccine.
Children with a significant allergy to eggs or egg products or flu vaccine or who have a history of Guillain Barré syndrome will not receive either flu vaccine.
