A few notes on Flu Mist. If your son is exposed to any immunocompromised individuals he should not get Flu Mist as it is a weakened yet live virus. Many clinics do not offer Flu Mist as there are a number of concerns regarding the room that is used for dispensing it (negative pressure yada yada), not to mention staff concerns.

Sounds like a recipe for spreading flu rather than preventing it.
