Swine Flu RECALL: H1N1 Vaccine Pulled In Canada
It is a single batch, all of which was used or found in Canada.
It is well known that a certain number of patients will show some allergenicity to influenza (any) vaccine. The vaccine is harvested from eggs or the protein that makes up the egg embryo.
In general, egg allergenicity is not rare.
The statistical information has suggested "serious allergenicity", which can be interpreted as anaphylaxis, the most serious type of allergenicity but the article does not mention what allergenicity was seen.
Furthermore, it is very important to remember that NO AMERICAN company is producing swine flu vaccine. (a subject for another time).
It is also important to remember that one case of allergenicity for every 23,000 is exceptionally small.
The bottom line, don't think twice, get the shot!!

You haven't hijacked my thread. It is a great clip! Thanks.
If NO AMERICAN company is producing swine flu vaccine then where is it being made? China? Do you know? Canada?

1 out of 23000 is not small if its your child with a severe allergic reaction. I understand why you think all should get the vaccine. Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong, I just don't know. However, even if you believe it is best we all get the vaccine, I would hope you'd present both cases dispassionately. I ask that of all our politicians (haha) and I ask that of all those who advocate for anything

Not a lot of information in the link, but it appears that there were only 6 reported cases of allergies to the vaccine and that the manufacturer advised not using the rest of the batch of vaccine. None of the allergic reactions were serious.
I get vaccinated every year against the seasonal flu, as advised by my doctor. I know that there are some people who have adverse reactions to vaccines, but they are far fewer than the number of non-inoculated people who die from the flu every year. One weighs the risks and makes an informed decision.
