No needles required: The FDA approves an at-home flu vaccine
Briefly

The FDA's approval of the FluMist nasal spray allows adults to administer their flu vaccine at home, enhancing access to preventative care and vaccination.
Peter Marks stated, 'Getting vaccinated each year is the best way to prevent influenza,' highlighting the importance of flu vaccination in public health.
This decision not only simplifies the process of getting vaccinated but also addresses fears of doctors and needles, potentially increasing vaccination rates.
The nasal spray is particularly convenient, as it can be ordered online, allowing people to complete a screening before receiving their FluMist.
