The Park Record A-16 Recalled Hib vaccine found in Utah The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) today announced more than 2,060 doses of the recently recalled Haemophilus influenzac type B (Hib) vaccine were received and shipped in Utah since April 2007. The vaccine's manufacturer, Merck, voluntarily recalled 11 lots of the Hib vaccine and two lots of a combination Hib and Hepatitis B vaccine. "The recalled vaccine does not have a negative effect on our children's health, nor will it require revaccination of children who have received the affected vaccine," said Karen Tsuyuki, vaccine management coordinator, Utah Immunization Program. "Further, the nationwide recall is not expected to significantly impact Utah's supply of Hib vaccine," The Utah Immunization Program is in the process of contacting providers who have received recalled vaccines and are asking them to immediately discontinue use of any of the affected lots and to return the recalled vaccine to the distributor or manufacturer.

MTF offers the "circuit" which I love, but with the treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines my options are endless. The ddcor and atmosphere are conducive to "happy exercising"! - Pattie Dahlin recall due to the potential for bacterial contamination in these specific lots. The problem was identified during standard evaluation of their manufacturing processes. The vaccine is being recalled as a preventive measure because Merck cannot assure sterility for the 11 lots. However, sterility tests of samples from the recalled lots have not found any contamination and the potential for contamination of any individual dose of vaccine is very low. "The important thing to understand is that this is not a health threat for the children of Utah," said David Sundwall, executive director, Utah Department of Health. "Also, we can assure parents that children who received vaccine from affected lots do not need to be revaccinated." As a precautionary measure, health officials recommend parents whose children have recently received a dose of the recalled vaccine watch for any signs of infection, such as redness and swelling at the injection site within seven days of receiving the vaccine.
