In other news about the three ring circus that is H1N1-
A lot of calls this morning about the recall of pediatric H1N1.

Just to put everyone at ease. This is _not_ a safety recall.

The lot of H1N1 pediatric we received here at Noe Valley Pediatrics was _NOT_ included in the recall.
Our lot number was-
UTO23FA


Here is a link to the CDC website for anyone who got pediatric shots at another clinic.

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/syringes_qa.htm

What are the lot numbers affected by this recall?

Vaccine doses with the following lot numbers are included in the recall:

0.25 ml pre-filled syringes, 10-packs (NDC # 49281-650-25, sometimes coded as 49281-0650-25):
UT023DA
UT028DA
UT028CB

0.25 ml pre-filled syringes, 25-packs (NDC # 49281-650-70, sometimes coded as 49281-0650-70):

The CDC is _not_ recommending re-doing any shots even if your child got two doses of the "below rec. potency" recalled lot.

Love and health to all!
