| I'm waiting for the shot for me and DD because DS is under 6 months old, and I have read that there is a small risk of "shedding" live virus after receiving the mist. I know the risk is tiny (.06-2.4% according to the info I found), but since three of us would be getting the mist, the risk just seemed too high. It's so frustrating that the shots are so slow in coming though! |

| I'm pregnant, so I can't get the mist. But when DH can get the vaccine, he'll get whatever he can, shot or mist. |
