Your vaccination options

You might think of a seasonal flu vaccine as a "flu shot", but there are actually different flu vaccine options: nasal-spray flu vaccine or flu shot. They're both approved by the FDA to help eligible people avoid the flu. No one vaccine is right for everyone, so talk to your doctor about the right option for each member of your family.

Nasal-Spray Flu Vaccine

• Given as spray in each nostril
• Helps protect against the flu
• Recommended every year by the CDC

Flu Shot Vaccine

• Given by needle injection, usually in the arm
• Helps protect against the flu
• Recommended every year by the CDC
