    What is the difference between administering the H1N1 vaccine with a needle as opposed to the nasal spray version?
    Thanks.

    The difference is that the nasal spray is a weakened live virus. Is is called FluMist. It is not approved for use in Canada. The vaccine does not contain any live virus.
