FDA APPROVES DIY FLU Nasal VACCINE Revolution| FluMist Nasal Spray]
“FluMist is great for people who want a needle-free, convenient option, but it’s not suitable for everyone. High-risk groups, such as the elderly or those with weakened immune systems, should opt for other flu vaccines, as FluMist contains live virus particles, which could pose a risk for these individuals.”
“mRNA vaccines provide a highly adaptable and potentially more potent immune response, making them ideal for high-risk groups. FluMist, on the other hand, offers convenience and is an excellent choice for healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49 who are looking for a needle-free option.”

00:00Influenza remains a major global health challenge.
00:03Each year, millions of people are affected,
00:06and getting vaccinated is the best defense.
00:09But how do vaccines work?
00:11And what's the difference between the emerging mRNA influenza vaccines
00:15and the newly approved self-administered FluMist nasal spray?
00:19Let's break it down.
00:20Vaccines are designed to train our immune system to recognize and fight harmful pathogens,
00:25such as viruses.
00:27When a vaccine is introduced into the body,
00:29it mimics a virus or bacteria, without causing illness.
00:34This triggers the production of antibodies,
00:36special proteins that can neutralize invaders.
00:39If the body encounters the real virus in the future,
00:42the immune system can respond swiftly and effectively,
00:46preventing severe illness.
00:48There are different types of vaccines.
00:50Some use weakened or inactive viruses,
00:53while others rely on newer technologies like mRNA.
00:56Let's look at two key players in the fight against the flu.
01:00First up, mRNA influenza vaccines.
01:03While they're still in development,
01:05mRNA vaccines have already shown great promise in tackling COVID-19.
01:10But how do they work?
01:11mRNA vaccines don't use the virus itself.
01:14Instead, they carry instructions, mRNA,
01:18that teach our cells to make a harmless piece of the flu virus,
01:21usually a protein.
01:22Once made, our immune system detects this protein,
01:26recognizes it as foreign, and produces antibodies to destroy it.
01:30This technology allows for faster updates to vaccines if the virus mutates,
01:35offering an edge in rapidly evolving flu seasons.
01:39mRNA vaccines are particularly promising for high-risk populations,
01:43like older adults and those with weakened immune systems,
01:46as they can elicit a stronger and more targeted immune response.
01:51Now, let's talk about the Flumis nasal spray,
01:53a vaccine you can give yourself at home.
01:56Unlike mRNA vaccines,
01:58Flumist contains a live but weakened form of the flu virus.
02:02It's administered as a nasal spray,
02:04and it works by stimulating your immune system right in the respiratory tract,
02:08which is where the flu virus typically enters the body.

02:44and is an excellent choice for healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49
02:50who are looking for a needle-free option.
02:52Ultimately, the choice of flu vaccine depends on your age,
02:55health status, and personal preferences.
02:58The most important thing is to get vaccinated,
03:00because when it comes to the flu,
03:02prevention is your best weapon.
03:04Stay informed, stay protected,
03:06and let's tackle the flu together.
