Proper Use
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a nasal spray.
Use the nasal spray only in the nose. Do not get any of it in your eyes or on your skin. If it does get on these areas, rinse it off right away.
Before using the nasal spray, gently blow your nose to clear the nostrils.
Children 2 to 8 years of age who have not received the nasal vaccine before should receive 2 doses at least 1 month apart.
This vaccine comes with a patient information insert. It is very important that you read and understand this information. Be sure to ask your doctor about anything you do not understand.
