FluMist now FDA-approved for self-administration:

With the label expansion, Flumist can be administered by a healthcare provider or ordered through a pharmacy for self-administration at home.

The approval is for ages 2-49 (same as the prior label). The low upper bound of the age range (49) is due to FluMist’s containing a weakened, but live, flu virus.
