hi

i would like to get the flumist but live in a house with a toddler in
the household.

he is 18 months old and in good health, no special medical problems or
immune problems. are toddlers of his age considered immune compromised
people?

is this risky for the toddler?

thank you

As long as you are a healthy adult, then you should be able to use
Flumist. Your toddler would not be put at any risk by you using it.
Normal toddlers are not considered immune compromised.

You can easily reduce his exposure to the vaccine by frequent hand
washing and by keeping him from touching your face, especially if you
get a runny nose from the vaccine.
