For Influenza Prophylaxis "My son got the FluMist and was a little tired for a couple of days and loss of appetite. It's now day 4, and he has a fever of 100.5, not too high. We will see how long it takes for it to go away. My 6-year-old had tiredness, sneezing, and stuffiness and keeps taking her temperature but seems to be okay. My 9-year-old just has some stuffiness. I wonder if body weight has anything to do with it since they all received the same dose. Maybe the dosage should be tailored to body weight."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "My two-year-old had the FluMist vaccine on a Monday morning. By Monday evening, he had a fever, no energy or appetite, and wanted to go to bed. Tuesday, his temperature spiked to 104.5, and he had achy arms and legs, head, and tummy. Still had a fever all day Wednesday but started taking fluids again, still not eating. When he was one, he had the shot and had no reaction. I think we'll stick with the injection from now on."
