According to the CDC advisory panel on flu vaccines, there is no risk of spread of the live (but weakened) virus to another person (as the non-vaccinated child in your question) in close contact after a nasal spray of attenuated flu vaccine has been given, unless the non-vaccinated child is immuno-compromised for some reason, such as by taking immuno-suppression drugs like those for organ transplant patients, having HIV/AIDS, or receiving chemotherapy, etc. In the latter situation, it is better to not have the two in close proximity.

How does the sugar lump vaccine prevent a child from getting polio?
It works like any other vaccine by giving a minute amount of the germ to the child. Not enough to cause polio itself, but enough to make the body's immune system fight it by creating antibodies. Then, if the vaccinated child should come into contact with the polio germ again, the body already knows how to fight it. The immune response kicks in and protects the child. There is an interesting thing about the sugar lump method of giving this vaccine, and that is that a breast fed baby must not be given breast milk for half an hour before the vaccine and also half an hour afterwards. This is because mothers milk will already have the antibodies in it and will destroy the vaccine before it can work. One of the big advantages of breastfeeding is that the mother's mature immune system always fights any infection the baby may be exposed to.
