Singapore approves needle-free flu vaccine for ages 2–49 to boost shots and ease fears.
Singapore has approved FluMist Trivalent, a needle-free nasal spray flu vaccine, for use in individuals aged 2 to 49, marking the first intranasal flu vaccine in the country.
Approved by the Health Sciences Authority and manufactured by AstraZeneca, it protects against influenza A and B strains and is recommended annually, especially for older adults and those with chronic conditions.
The vaccine, previously approved in the U.S. and UK, aims to increase vaccination rates by eliminating needle-related fears.
Common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, and mild fever.
The UAE has also launched a similar nasal spray flu vaccine, FluMist Quadrivalent, for healthy individuals aged 2 to 49, with restrictions for certain high-risk groups.
