CDC H1N1 Vaccine Recall

Skamania County Health Department did not receive any of the vaccine included in this recall.

CDC has issued a statement regarding the recall of specific lots of H1N1 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 35 months because testing has indicated the vaccine doses lost some strength. This does not pose a safety concern; children who have received vaccine from these lots do not need to be revaccinated.

If you have any questions or concerns please call the Health Dept at (509) 427-3881 or visit http://www.flu.gov/.
