If you received a H1N1 vaccine at the Caldwell County Health Department before Christmas, the health department did receive notification of additional vaccine recalls related to the H1N1 Nasal spray Vaccine. The Health Department did receive some of the recalled vaccine and would like to re-assure patients that the vaccine is being recalled for non-safety related issues with potency and vaccine effectiveness. The vaccine is safe and poses no harm to those who received it. The vaccine potency is or will soon be only slightly below the limit. The vaccine is still expected to be effective in stimulating a protective immune response. There is no need to re-administer a dose to those who received any of the recalled vaccine. If you have questions or concerns related to the vaccine recall, please contact the health department at (828) 426-8400 or call your family doctor.
