Contaminated flu shots?
http://www.oaklandtribune.com/Stories/0,1413,82~1726~2363194,00.html

Everywhere I can find says that this will cause a shortage because of the recall, but there's no danger because they weren't actually giving them out till next month.
But I got one last week.
What is going to happen to me? :scared:

1. Ask your doctor
to check the lot number of the batch you received.

2. Merely a ploy to scare more money out of those who buy
huge quantities of flu shots, like us dumb-assed taxpayers.

It has happened every year of the * mis-adminstration.

3. Reminds me of the old Polio shots that were contaminated
with a monkey virus. That was in the 1950s. I could find no information on the nature of the contaminant in the flu vaccine. Could be anything from another virus to a chemical used in the extraction or purification process.
