New flu vaccine statements today

Here is a Canadian Press story quoting Health Canada and the vaccine maker Novartis essentially trying to allay concern that two of the firm’s vaccines have been suspended from use. The discovery of clumps of viral proteins is not unusual, they say. The company says those who have received the vaccine are not at risk and that Novartis is confident the vaccines are safe. All of this is no doubt true. But it does beg the question of why it is necessary to suspend their use.  CP story
