Suspended Flu Vaccine Back in Use!

Health Canada lifted the suspension on the two vaccines this morning after a review determined the vaccines remained safe to use.

The Health Canada suspension was purely precautionary and was issued late last week after similar actions in Europe. Health Canada looked at the results of its own testing, conducted a health risk assessment, and reviewed information from its European partners and data submitted by Novartis in making its decision. None of the information reviewed indicated a safety issue.
