Recalled Pediatric Vaccines Not Found in USVI
Posted by Eunice Bedminster on December 15, 2009 at 5:15 PM AST

Health Commissioner Julia Sheen said earlier today that there are no safety concerns for children six months to 35 months who received H1N1 vaccines that are part of a voluntary recall by a manufacturer of pediatric vaccines.

“Both the CDC and the FDA have determined that there are no safety concerns for children who have received this vaccine,” Sheen said.

The vaccines used at various health care providers territorywide were distributed from a cache received by the Health Department and employees spent Tuesday verifying lot numbers against those that are part of the recall and found none territorywide.
