Australia Launches Flu Vaccine Inquiry As Children Convulse And

Die

 

 

The West Australian government has launched an inquiry into the flu

vaccinations that caused adverse reactions in hundreds of children across

the nation. WA Health Minister Kim Hames said the inquiry would

scrutinise systems used to identify public health risks, including

vaccine side-effects and disease outbreaks, after criticism of the

government's slow response. Last month, seasonal flu shots caused adverse

reactions in 251 children under five in WA, with 55 suffering convulsions

and 196 suffering fevers and vomiting. Two-year-old Queensland girl

Ashley Epapara was found dead in her cot on April 9, the day after she

and her twin sister were given the seasonal flu vaccination by a private

Brisbane GP.
