Madan RP, Tan M, Fernandez-Sesma A, et al. Frequency and duration of vaccine virus shedding in these immunocompromised children and adolescents were comparable to that seen in healthy children and adolescents. LUND: You still get systemic immunity if you deliver it via the intranasal route, so that doesn't go away. The systemic immunity will keep one from getting sick and the local immunity means it will be harder for the virus to start an infection inside your nasal passages — a pocket of infection that could easily spread to others via a breath or a sneeze. • Refer to the Fluenz Tetra administration diagram (Figure 1) for step-by-step administration instructions. Am J Transplant 2008;8:332–7. DIAMOND: Even if we had adequate supplies of vaccines, there are two problems. "You will get a systemic response, but you will not get a local response with that," she says.

Shedding of the weakened LAIV influenza virus has been documented. LUND: You will get a systemic response, but you will not get a local response with that.
Community exposure is not the same as the “heavy” exposure found in certain situations during school-based LAIV vaccination events.
Am J Transplant 2004;4:1805–9. Can influenza vaccine cause allograft rejection?
This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team. Vaccine recipients should attempt to avoid, whenever possible, close association with severely immunocompromised individuals (e.g. Advice for school teams. After administering half of the dose in one nostril, administer the other half of the dose in the other nostril immediately or shortly thereafter. It is not known whether or not a transplant patient can be severely infected with the weakened LAIV influenza virus. Fluenz Tetra is manufactured according to the same process as Fluenz. Continue typing to refine. Influenza vaccination in heart transplant recipients.
"You still get systemic immunity if you deliver it via the intranasal route, so that doesn't go away, and you add a level of immunity that you don't get with an intramuscular vaccine," she says. PALCA: By systemic response, Lund is talking about generating antibodies that circulate through the blood to all parts of our bodies.
It's also important to prevent the spread of the disease. One study of 197 children aged 8 through 36 months in a child care center assessed transmissibility of vaccine viruses from 98 vaccinated children to the 99 unvaccinated children; 80% of vaccine recipients shed one or more virus strains (mean duration: 7.6 days). The transplant patient should always practice good hand-washing and preventive practices. Supported by Lund says by putting a vaccine directly into the nose, you could get another kind of immunity that occurs primarily in the cells lining the nose and throat. ovalbumin).

What if a patient’s school is vaccinating students with the nasal spray vaccine (LAIV)? Very rare reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome and exacerbation of symptoms of Leigh syndrome (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy) have also been observed in the post-marketing setting with Fluenz. At least at first, there won't be enough vaccine for everyone. There is no evidence that influenza vaccination causes allograft rejection. In studies of adults in which a high percentage of individuals had underlying chronic medical conditions, the safety profile of trivalent Fluenz was comparable to the safety profile observed in individuals without these conditions. And then there's a fragment of the population that just won't mount good responses to a vaccine," meaning the body may not make antibodies that will protect them.
