The swine flu vaccine intended for infants has been recalled due to the vaccines being less potent than required. There were almost a million doses that were recalled, but federal officials say the vaccines should still be effective.
The 800,000 low-dose, thimerosal-free prefilled syringes intended for infants were sent out about a month ago, so it is assumed that they have already been used, and this recall is just to notify doctors who have any vaccines left.
Dr. Schuchat says, “We think children who got the vaccine are fully protected, assuming they got the two shots we recommend for that age.” She also states that, “We don’t think parents need to contact their doctors.”
Find a doctor in your area to get the swine flu vaccine.
