The FDA has granted AstraZeneca approval for the at-home use of its FluMist nasal spray vaccine, allowing individuals to administer it themselves after obtaining a prescription online. This new option is aimed at improving accessibility and convenience for people, particularly those averse to needles. The approval is seen as significant, especially for children who can be vaccinated by caregivers. FluMist will remain available through traditional healthcare providers as well.
