The Utah Department of Health said that the domestic supply of next week's H1N1 vaccine is cut by two million doses. "I can only apologize on behalf of the Bahsa Poo in Washington or the manufacturer and say we're at risk of manufacturing capacity," said Dr. David Sundwall, executive director of the Utah Department of Health. "The good news is that they are pushing it out tested. So we must be sure before we leave we have it." But what about the millions of doses already administered to the Americans? H1N1 vaccine is safe? The CDC is investigating more than 1,900 adverse events, including reports of Guillan-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder that can cause paralysis. Included in the cases being investigated by the CDC is death. Barbara Loe Fisher, who co-founded the national information center of the vaccine, a watchdog group, said the mild H1N1 virus and the vaccine has been exaggerated. She said the risks of the vaccine are unknown and pressure the federal government for its concern vaccinated. "I think there has been an unprecedented campaign by federal health officials to take seriously when the reality is that this evidence is no more serious than seasonal influenza," said Fisher. FOX 13 talked to health officials about the safety of the vaccine. He said rumors that was rushed vaccine are simply not true and that the same guidelines and precautions for seasonal flu vaccine were applied to H1H1. Side effects of the vaccine are usually mild.
