Written by kevin   
Thursday, 13 December 2007

The recall announced Wednesday by the drug company Merck covers roughly 1.2 million doses of the vaccine against Hib, which causes meningitis, pneumonia and other serious infections, and a combination vaccine for Hib and hepatitis B.

If you or your child have received an immunization from the Jasper Newton County Public Health District, you have nothing to worry about.

The Health District uses vaccines made by Aventis, not Merk - which is the company that has recalled the vaccine. Merck recalled the lots after this week identifying a sterility problem in a Pennsylvania factory.
