I believe the non eligibility of the over 50's is based not on any adverse events, but simply that that population was not evaluated.

In fact my recollection is that there were a number of older people in the Flumist trials, just not enough for a subgroup analysis to show efficacy. I also seem to recall that the traditional flu vaccine has never had an efficacy trial in older groups either.
