Flu Vaccine Cleared for Use by Health Unit

All is back to normal regarding flu shots within the Northwestern Health Unit.

Health Canada has lifted the temporary suspension on distribution and use of two flu vaccine products.

Manager of Infectious Diseases Donna Stanley says it all started with some white flakes in the product.

The problem started in Europe, so Health Canada decided to hold on and make sure everything was okay before distributing the vaccine.
