Hi there,
I have stage 3 melanoma and my daughter has been given the nasal flu spray today - I also had the flu vaccine as an injection. My oncologist and the doctors seemed to go back and forth about whether my daughter should have the spray as it’s a live vaccine and I’m immuno- compromised but eventually decided it was fine.
After she was given the spray though the nurse was quite thorough and intense about washing hands and not leaving tissues around (my daughter has a bit of a cold anyway) and it worried me a bit as some of this is kind of unavoidable with a toddler!
How careful should I be and how likely am I to get the flu from this spray? I’m currently taking dabrafenib and tramatenib daily and am around half way through the course.
Thank you
