Can anyone give me some info, numbers or a website that says how likely it is to get the flu from the nasal spray or to spread it to others? People are annoying me, saying you cant get it from the spray because its a weakened flu strand blahblahblah.

Here's a link I found for the vaccine insert. It states the chance of transmission is low-about 2.5 %. But that was a study done with a group of 197 babies 8-36 months in a daycare type setting. I would imagine that given to a much broader range of people who come into contact with others who are elderly, sick, immunocomprimised due to something like HIV or because they are taking a drug that lowers your immune system such as prednisone, or newborns. Those percentages would be much higher.
