Is it possible to have a *live* flu vaccine on NHS?

There are two types of flu vaccines, inactive and live. For some reason I prefer a live one. I called my GP and several pharmacies, they only offer a non-live flu vaccine. Does anyone know where it is possible to get a live one?

It sounds like your choices are take the free one the NHS is offering you or pay for a live vaccine."You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0

I would think that unless you go to a private doctor all the normal places would give you the type for your relevant age/qualifying group0
