Swine Flu Program Faces Death Despite Vaccine Clearance
Federal health officials warned the swine flu immunization program may be dead even if the vaccine clears a link to Guillain Barré syndrome. The suspension, shaken public confidence, and late restart timing threaten the program’s future despite 349 million vaccine doses administered by December.

Swine flu shots halted in Ohio over paralysis link
Ohio Health Director Ackerman says the swine flu vaccination program is suspended until a clear link to Guillain Barré paralysis is proven. The Athens City-County Health Department halted its inoculation drive, with 22 Ohio cases of the syndrome reported and no local paralysis tied to swine flu. Ackerman notes the current flu risk is near zero, but public confidence concerns loom. Meanwhile West Virginia reports four suspected cases, two with swine flu shots, amid investigations in Morgantown and Charleston.
