NEW
MedImmune Voluntarily Recalls (Non-Safety-Related) Certain Lots
of H1N1 Nasal Spray Vaccine.
The Medina County Health Department
received one recalled lot of H1N1 Nasal Spray vaccine in October
2009. All doses administered by the Medina County Health Department
were given before November 30, 2009. This lot was not used at any of the December public clinics.
A total of 13 lots were recalled; nine either demonstrated or were likely to have a slight decrease in potency. Four additional lots, including the lot received by the Health Department,
were recalled as a precautionary measure because data suggested the lots might expire before the labeled
expiration dates.
Manufacturer testing was conducted weekly. Vaccine from the 13 lots met potency requirements during October and November,
the time in which the vaccine was administered. Therefore, no action, including revaccination, needs to be taken at this time
by persons who received this vaccine.
