Will the influenza nasal spray be available for kids this year?

Yes, the FLUMIST® QUADRIVALENT vaccine (given as a nasal spray) is available for children and youth 2-17 years of age.

This year, all influenza vaccine appointments will be booked through the provincial government’s Get Vaccinated system. If you have not yet registered your child with the Get Vaccinated system, you can register to receive an invitation to book an appointment. Everyone who is registered should receive an invite soon.

When booking an appointment through the Get Vaccinated system, you will have the option of selecting “nasal spray” and only clinics offering the nasal spray (Flumist) vaccine should appear.
