A panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended healthy children between the ages of 2 and 8 receive nasal spray flu vaccines instead of flu shots. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said its recommendation is based on studies that suggest the nasal spray flu shot provides better protection for this age group.
