Seasonal flu vaccine not for under 5′s

The ABC is reporting that the Australian Medical Association of Queensland (AMAQ) is suspending use of the seasonal influenza vaccine in children under 5 years, after the large number of adverse reactions in children, including one death, suspected to be linked to the vaccine.

Apparently the president of the AMAQ went on to say …

“You really have to be in the at-risk groups that really warrant a vaccine – remember that,”

Let’s hope this gets sorted out soon.
