If parents get the vaccine mist, can they make their un-vaxed child sick?

[Anonymous]

DH and I are planning to get vaxed for both seasonal and H1N1. It seems to me that a lot of places just have the mist, which has the live inactive virus. We plan to get our 18 month DD vaxed for both as well, but can't find anywhere that has EITHER shot for her, plus she needs two of each before its even considered effective. If DH and I go ahead and get the mists soon, isn't there a small chance we can infect our DD due to viral shedding?

I've searched this online (really, I HAVE!!) and can't find a straight answer anywhere.

NO, they cannot get the child sick.
