Health authorities in Japan have suspended the utilization of two vaccines for kids. Review boards plan to research four separate fatalities that occurred in close proximity to receiving vaccinations. For the last 17 years, these vaccines have been available in Europe. In Japan, however, they have only been approved for two years. Article resource - Japan suspends use of two US-manufactured vaccines by Newsytype.com.

States of baby fatalities in Japan


Health authorities in Japan have taken the unusual step of suspending medical utilization of Pfizer's Prevenar and Sanofi's ActHIB. The vaccines were given to four babies who passed away within three days. One of them was 18 months old while the other three were under a year. The fatalities happened around the very same time. Between March 2 and March 4 they happened. There were other health issues before the vaccinations were given to some of the children.

Steering clear of vaccine for now


two major vaccinations are suspended in Japan because of these infant deaths. It is not certain the deaths were brought on due to these vaccines. The relationship isn’t clear. Many vaccinations were given to the kids all at once. It's believed the suspension will be very short. The decision the fatalities were not related the vaccines has to be made by a review board first. The Health Ministry estimates that this could last anywhere from a few days to a few months.

Security of vaccine an ongoing problem


The vaccine suspension in Japan comes just a couple months after the suspected link between vaccines and autism was definitively disproved. Hundreds have been killed by U.S. and European outbreaks since the vaccines have not been taking place regularly. The standards for vaccine safety in each country differ while they all have to be certified and tested. It has become very hard to make sure every person is saved from illnesses while also getting the respect needed for individual belief and national borders.
