and Clarifications

Rotavirus
investigation. During the presentation about the Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Dr. Moran stated that
the rotavirus vaccine intussusception investigation occurred
in 1989. This is incorrect. The investigation took place in
1999. (12/9/05)
-
Rubella
vaccine. During the question and answer segment of
the broadcast Dr. Seward stated that the Dominican Republic
was the only country in Latin America that does not routinely
use rubella vaccine in their routine childhood immunization
schedule. We subsequently learned from the Pan American Health
Organization that only Haiti does not currently
use rubella vaccine. (12/9/95)
