Voluntary Swine Flu Vaccine Recall

A voluntary, non-safety related recall is underway of  six lots of Sanofi Pasteur H1N1 influenza vaccine.

The recalled lots are:
UT023AA, UT023BA, UT023CA, UT023EA, UT023FA, 0.25 mL syringes in 10-packs, (NDC # 49281-650-25, which also may be recorded as # 49281-0650-25), and UT037AA, 0.5 mL syringes in 25-packs,  (NDC # 49281-650-90, which also may be recorded as # 49281-0650-90).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the recalled vaccines have a lower strength than what is required.

More than 28,000 doses of the affected vaccine lots were distributed to approximately 169 medical facilities in New York City between November 2009 and January 2010.
