Vaccine Recall

Sanofi-Pasteur recently announced a recall of 4 lots of it’s H1N1 vaccine.  This is not a safety issue, rather it was discovered in ongoing stability testing that some of the pre-filled H1N1 syringes experienced a slight decrease in vaccine potency.  We have removed those affected lots from our supply.  Patients do not need re-vaccination if they did indeed receive a dose from these lots.  Click on this link for more information:
