FDA Approves First At-Home Nasal Flu Vaccine

September 24, 2024

2024 — The FDA on Friday approved FluMist, a nasal spray flu vaccine that you or a caregiver can now give at home — no health care provider needed. It's the first flu vaccine of its kind, offering a needle-free option that's both simple and convenient, and its maker hopes it will improve access and uptake.

FluMist contains a weakened, harmless version of the flu virus and needs to be taken once a year. The flu, as you probably know, can cause symptoms like a fever, stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, body aches, and fatigue. It tends to make the rounds in the fall and winter, affecting millions each year. FluMist protects against two common flu virus types, A and B, and is suitable for anyone age 2 to 49. You can still get it from a health care provider if you prefer, but now you can also opt for a caregiver who's 18 or older to help at home.

Cold and flu viruses share certain symptoms. Here's how to tell the difference.

According to MedImmune, the AstraZeneca subsidiary that makes FluMist, studies have shown that people ages 18 to 49 can successfully give the vaccine, and it's just as effective as having a doctor or nurse do it. AstraZeneca Executive Vice President Iskra Reic hopes this approval will make it easier for families and communities to access the flu vaccine on their own terms — outside of the traditional health care setting. Peter Marks, MD, PhD, who leads the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said this approval opens more convenient options for people looking to protect themselves against the flu.

Those interested in using FluMist at home will still need a prescription. But there's good news: An online pharmacy will soon offer the vaccine. AstraZeneca said that after completing a screening process to confirm eligibility, patients will receive their prescription and have FluMist shipped directly to their door, along with detailed instructions on how to store and use it. FluMist will also continue to be available at doctors' offices and pharmacies.

For children between 2 and 17, the FDA recommends that a caregiver give the spray. Common side effects include a runny or stuffy nose, fever in younger children, and a sore throat in adults.

UPDATED: 24 September 2024 My FREE Salt Water Cure for Bird Flu and Covid and MPox (virus) and any other virus.

Refuse all vaccines.

Join me in NEVER being ill with my free salt water cure. It's as yukky for me to do, as it is for you to do, but practice makes it easier with time - when the only option is potentially death by vaccines injections.

It is that simple.

3 minutes from preparation to job done: Mix one heaped teaspoon of table (or Iodine) salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, in small lots, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If burning sensation, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the burning sensation goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don't have any burning sensation at all, when you flush - job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and it goes down the back of your throat, when infected there too.

I have been doing this simple cure for over 31 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be.

Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible AND THERE IS STILL CLEAN SEA WATER, TO USE INSTEAD.

Nobody has been injured or killed by my above salt water cure

What - the Covid vaccines did not work, so now "they" are doing it "my way" instead?

How long before we start getting injected with the Japanese Replicon vaccines too?
