Pittsburgh Resumes Flu Shots Under New Guidelines
Allegheny County health director Dr. Frank B. Clack announces a restart of the influenza immunization program with tighter guidelines aimed at reducing stress for the elderly and chronically ill. He cautions that deaths among recently vaccinated seniors may occur due to underlying heart disease, not the vaccine, and says the program will halt only if a clear link emerges or vaccines run out. Medical investigators found no link between deaths and vaccination, noting victims likely would have died anyway. Vaccines are being distributed to private physicians to boost accessibility while emphasis shifts to doctor administered shots.
