800,000 doses of kids' swine flu vaccine recalled



ATLANTA (AP) - Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified doctors about the recall Tuesday. The recall involves about 800,000 doses made by Sanofi Pasteur. The doses are pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to almost three years.

Health officials recommend children those ages get two doses, spaced about a month apart.

Man, if we ever had to deal with a real biologic emergency, we're in deep trouble.

Only really affects those that got 1 shot instead of the 2 for kids that young.
My Son, 9 months, just got his 2nd. That and 1 maker said test seem to show that 1 shot is more then enough for most. But that was after it was set that kids needed 2.
So 2 weak ones will still work.
