World health body says H1N1 vaccines safe, effective
Quote:
The highest-level advisory body to WHO on immunization and vaccination policy, an advisory group comprised of experts from around the world, has reviewed the results of clinical trials involving several thousand people and more than several hundred thousand who have been vaccinated in "real field" operations organized by 14 countries.
"All the reports received today following vaccination either in clinical trial or live vaccination campaign have showed the safety profile of these pandemic vaccines is good and is very similar to the ones which are known for seasonal influenza," Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, director of WHO's Initiative for Vaccine Research told reporters during a briefing Friday from Geneva.
"Nothing special in terms of adverse events has been noted," Kieny said.
