The purpose of this study was to expand the data describing the safety profile of FluMist in the indicated populations (5-8, 9-17, and 18-49 years of age) and to assess the safety of annual revaccination in those who received FluMist in 2 or more consecutive years.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of FluMist vaccination by comparing the rates of medically attended events (MAEs) (including serious adverse events \[SAEs\], anaphylaxis, urticaria, asthma, wheezing, pre-specified grouped diagnoses, and rare events potentially related to wild-type influenza) in FluMist recipients to rates in multiple non-randomized control groups.

Rates of Medically Attended Events (MAEs) Associated With a Significant Increased Risk in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups
An MAE was defined as a coded medical diagnosis made by a health care provider and associated with a medical encounter (ie, a visit by a health plan member to a medical clinic or ED, or a hospital admission). Incident rate comparisons of MAEs with an identified increased risk associated with FluMist occurring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups, as these events are less likely to be due to chance alone.
Time frame: 21 and 42 days
Rates of MAEs Associated With a Significant Decreased Risk in FluMist Group Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups
Incident rate comparisons of MAEs with an identified decreased risk associated with FluMist occuring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups, as these events are less likely to be due to chance alone. All terms were analyzed for the entire population regardless of gender.
Time frame: 21 and 42 days
Rates of Anaphylaxis and Urticaria in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups
Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly increased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the within cohort control group for urticaria; there was no increased risk compared to the unvaccinated and TIV control groups and there were no anaphylaxis events that occurred within the 3-day risk period post vaccination.
Time frame: 3 days
Rates of MAEs Within the Pre-specified Grouped Diagnoses In The FluMist Group Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups.
There were no acute respiratory tract events, acute gastrointestinal tract events, or systemic bacterial infections with an identified increased or decreased risk associated with FluMist occuring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups.
Time frame: 21 and 42 days
