"I'm sorry to say, however, that those of us with MS should NOT get their flu vaccine in the form of FluMist, the nasal flu vaccine spray. FluMist is a live-virus vaccine, which uses an attenuated form of the flu virus - in fact, the generic name of FluMist is LAIV (Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine). People with MS that are on immunosuppressants, such as corticosteroids (Solu-Medrol) or Tysabri, or any of the immunoglobulin preparations (such as IVIG), are especially susceptible to developing influenza from FluMist."
