Committee blocks subpoena on Chiron flu vaccine records
Washington lawmakers clash over access to FDA files on the Chiron Corp flu vaccine shutdown. Rep. Henry Waxman accuses the agency of delaying documents until after the election. Rep. Tom Davis rejects a subpoena as political theater. The Liverpool plant suspension halted about half of the year’s 100 million doses, triggering clinic lines and price concerns as CDC urged voluntary postponement of shots. FDA, under Acting Commissioner Lester Crawford, asks for more time as vaccine efforts battle the crisis.
