There is no shortage of news regarding the H1N1 vaccine. And, unless you are reading medical journals, most of the stories don't involve specifics. We recently reported about Canada's plan to use a form of the H1N1 vaccine that contain an adjuvant. Adjuvants is a substance which boosts the vaccine's effectiveness so that a single dose will do the job.
In Canada they were pushing this for pregnant woman and now we learn that they are planning to use such vaccines on all of those in the target groups: pregnant woman, infants and children.
However, what makes this even more alarming is the fact that there is absolutely no evidence that such vaccines are safe for any of those in the target group.
Of particular worry are infants, for which there is no body of evidence to know if the vaccine is safe. There is no plan to use or make adjuvant-free vaccines available for infants. Experts in Canada are calling for the government to make a 'safer' vaccine available for newborns up to 18 months old.
While we can't tell anybody what to do, we here at SSC are encouraging everybody to say NO to this vaccine and to not allow their doctors to push them into vaccinating themselves or their children.
