Kids are required to get it for school. One of them (age 5) has extreme anxiety about shots.... I'm assuming the spray will satisfy the school hopefully 🤷. Child is crying about having to get the spray, but it's much better then how dc will react to getting a shot.... Just can't find a place that gives it.... Pefer Boro park, but can go to Flatbush as well...

Kengsington pediatrician gives it on 38th I took my kids there

Also why would you mention it was the Nasal spray?
The Dr gives a note u got the vaccine that's it- no further details needed
Good luck

If your child is 5, NYC doesn’t require it anymore at that age. Fight it out with your school.

Thanks so much! If it's not required I'm definitely going to try to fight it out... It would be great if dc doesn't have to take it. Dc has more then typical anxiety for a shot and want to avoid it if there's any way possible... Dc is in a Special Ed school though... Would the requirements be different there? (don't want to become a parent who makes an issue over everything, so want be sure first)

Shed live copies of the virus and possibly make other people sick with it.

The flu mist was no big deal. I did it today. My son will be 5 in January

There's no requirements for a flu shot, only a flu vaccine. So the mist is the equivalent as far as the school goes.

After age five it shouldn't be required. You can double check with the school in a curious type of way. It's basically required for children in daycare, not elementary school kids.

Dr zagelbaum used to. Haven't used his office in years since I moved, but it's worth asking them.
