800,000 H1N1 Vaccines for Young Children Recalled!

h1n1Who would have thought, right?

About 800,000 H1N1 vaccines are being recalled.

Apparently, the vaccines that are being recalled aren't as "potent" as they should be. The French manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur (one of the 5 main manufacturers)  is recalling the vaccines.  

The company's and CDC's excuse? Children don't have to be vaccinated and immunized against the H1N1.

The company's spoke person Len Lavenda  said that the company's test results were below 12 percent of the point where it should have been.

The four lots that were tested of the H1N1 all failed, according to Lavenda. These vaccines have been distributed all over America.  Doctors are urged to take precautions and are recommended to check their vaccines.

H1N1 Vaccine Protest

New York has annouced mandatory H1N1 vaccination for their health care workers. The New York State Department of Health has declared that by November 30th you must be vaccinated, unless you have a "personal health issue" which may exempt you.

With the state trying to forcibly vaccinate them, health care workers across the state have begun refusing to take this sitting down. Tomorrow (Tuesday) from 11am to 1pm  NY Healthcare Concerned Citizens Group will be leading a protest of hundreds of NY healthcare workers in Albany.

Click here to hear the leaders of this protest discuss what their hospitals are doing and why they are refusing it. Remember, if New York can do this to their health care workers it could set a precedent to make this mandatory for all citizens. With that in mind I doubt they would disagree with some help spreading their message if you're going to be in the area.
