I am including a few lines from an update I received yesterday concerning a recall of vaccines for the H1N1 virus. This notice is from the Warren County and New Jersey Health Departments, and the entire letter can be accessed later today via the H1N1 link on our website.
Summary: As part of its quality assurance program, Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., performs additional routine, ongoing testing of influenza vaccines after the vaccine has been distributed to health care providers to ensure that vaccines continue to meet required specifications.In recent testing of the amount of antigen in its influenza A (H1N1) monovalent vaccine, Sanofi Pasteur found four distributed lots of single-dose, pre-filled syringe pediatric (0.25 mL.) vaccine with antigen content lower than required potency levels. The manufacturer is conducting a non-safety related voluntary recall of these affected lots of vaccine.
Till next time....
