Spray is safe, but appears to lose its strength over time, FDA says
WASHINGTON - Drugmaker MedImmune is recalling nearly 5 million doses of swine flu vaccine because the nasal spray appears to lose strength over time, federal health officials announced Tuesday.
The vaccine recall is the second this month caused by declining potency and comes as public health officials urge millions of Americans to get vaccinated against swine flu.
The action affects more than 4.6 million doses, but the vast majority have already been used, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Agency officials said the vaccine was strong enough when it was distributed in October and November.

Way to go obama. Or should we blame bush?
I don't think either one are to blame. Blame the CDC. More lazy government workers.
The more I hear stories about these vaccines the more happy I am that I made the choice NOT to get vaccinated!
I thought about it for some time before I decided that I felt the government rushed these vaccines and there's no telling whether they will work or not and there's no telling what mistakes were made in the making of them.
Anon 10:49 and we will never know.
