Some
H1N1
Vaccine Recalled
Posted 16 December
2009
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today announced a
non-safety related voluntary recall of certain lots of H1N1 influenza
vaccine for children. The four lots were recalled after the
manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, found during testing that the strength of
the vaccine was below pre-determined levels. According to the Iowa
Department of Public Health (IDPH), Iowa was allocated approximately
28,600 doses of the affected vaccine in approximately 45 counties. Two
of the four affected lot numbers were received in Iowa.
“This vaccine is completely safe,” said IDPH Immunization and
Tuberculosis Bureau Chief Don Callaghan. “While the manufacturer has
determined the strength of the vaccine is slightly below
specifications, the FDA and CDC have determined there is no significant
reduction in the immune response in those who received this vaccine.
For that reason, there is no need to re-vaccinate anyone who received
one or both doses of the affected vaccine.”
IDPH announced last week that 2009 H1N1 vaccinations have been opened
to all Iowans. Iowans may find a list of vaccination sites here.
