FDA approves first self-administered flu vaccine

With the FDA’s announcement Friday, FluMist is officially the first flu vaccine that can be administered without a healthcare provider’s involvement. The spray contains a weakened form of flu virus strains and still requires a prescription. It can be administered by “the vaccine recipient or a caregiver who is 18 years of age or older.”
