Vomiting, diarrhea, fever, palpitations and shortness of breath are among the more severe known side effects.

In addition, the nasal spray for the flu is an attenuated virus, which means it was created from the live virus, NOT an inactivated virus. It comes with it all the possible symptoms of the actual flu, but on a less severe scale.
Between 1-2 cases of GBS per Million flu vaccine doses given... With the Covid vaccine, it was 8.1 per Million... Just a tad higher, no?
