Patients should be off antiviral medications for 48 hours before getting a LAIV. If antiviral medications are administered to a patient within two weeks of receiving LAIV, then the vaccine dose should not count as valid. Antiviral medications do not interfere with the immune response to inactivated virus vaccines.
