title: Intranasal flu vaccine available this season.
abstract: FluMist provides a convenient alternative to the traditional flu shot. Use of a live attenuated virus that stimulates an immune response directly in the nasal passages has certain therapeutic advantages in some patients. However, the cost of this form of flu vaccine is likely to be borne entirely by the patient.
