For which condition is the FluMist vaccine indicated?

Adults with asplenia
Ages 2-49 years
Ages >/=65
Patients with severe yeast allergy

The correct answer is: Ages 2-49 years

The FluMist vaccine is indicated for individuals between the ages of 2 to 49 years. FluMist is a live attenuated influenza vaccine that is administered intranasally and is approved for use in healthy individuals within this age range as it has been shown to be effective in preventing influenza in this population. The other options are incorrect because: - Option A: Adults with asplenia would typically receive the inactivated influenza vaccine, not the live attenuated FluMist. - Option C: The FluMist vaccine is not indicated for individuals aged 65 years and older. In this age group, the high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine or adjuvanted influenza vaccine are typically recommended. - Option D: The FluMist vaccine is contraindicated in patients with severe yeast allergy due to the potential for cross-reactivity with some ingredients in the vaccine.
