From the vaccine-manufacturers insert for FluMist. Recently vaccinated children can transmit the live flu virus to immunocompromised household contacts. What about classmates? School children who have been vaccinated with the live virus flu vaccine can spread the flu to others for up to 28 days after they are vaccinated. Children in school spend up to 7-8 hours together, five days a week, in close quarters. Dont parents have a right to know other children are contagious and are spreading the flu? Shouldnt recently vaccinated children be made to stay out of the classroom until they are no longer contagious?
