800,000 doses of H1N1 flu vaccine for infants recalled
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
Federal officials announced a recall of pediatric doses of the H1N1 vaccine on Tuesday, after tests indicated that nearly a million of the doses may not be powerful enough to protect against the virus. According to the New York Times, officials advise that they don’t think children need to be revaccinated. The doses were intended for children between 6 and 35 months old, who health officials recommend should get two doses of the vaccine anyway.
