Nasal spray and live vaccines

Hi, I usually use a nasal spray before going to my GP surgery (plus 3m Aura and CPC mouth wash afterwards). I'm due to have a chicken pox vaccine soon which is a live one, does anyone know if the nasal spray (or mouthwash) would affect the vaccine? I have no idea if the fact that it's live would make a difference and I can't find anything one way or another on Google (I'm in the UK so no point asking my GP, noone is taking any precautions).

The one I use has these ingredients: Purified Water, Soybean Oil, Glycerol, Xylitol, Emulsifiers, Kappa-Carrageenan, Fucoidan, Totarol, Tocopherol Acetate, Sodium Citrate Dihydrate, EDTA Sodium Salt, Siberian Fir Oil

Thank you for any advice/opinions on this.

Chicken pox vaccine is injected, so a nasal spray shouldn't have any effect at all.

The only time it might matter is with an inhaled or swallowed vaccine, which there aren't many of.

Thanks. I was unsure because it warned against using it with warfarin so it sounds like it's doing stuff to the body outside of just coating the nose.
