I too afraid to get the nasal vaccine. I"m no dr but any kind of live virus scares me. I'm still not sure I'm getting the injection with the dead virus, but after having such a tough time getting over colds since I've had rsd, I may consider it now. As long as it's not a live virus. That's just my gut speaking. My husband is not a dr either, but has worked in the healthcare industry for over 30 years and is also diabetic, and he doesn't even want to get any flu vaccine anymore. I may try to convince him to get the vaccine that does not have the live virus. My son was always told by his pediatricians and drs that he didn't need it either. I wonder if he should get one now. He's 20 but I have to check with his dr again. Thanks again for all of your advice.
Take care.
