A thermometer accidentally proke friday afternoon spilling mercury onto the floor of the gym at the Greenbush School in West Warwick. The gym had to be evacuated. It took crews hours to clean up the spill.

In 2010 in Western Australia, one particular brand of flu vaccine which was recommended to children was found to be connected with a spate of adverse febrile reactions. The investigation is not yet complete, but the reactions are believed to be from a particular batch of the 2010 trivalent influenza vaccine FLUVAX manufactured by CSL. The reactions were from this particular brand of flu vaccine only, and likely due to suboptimal virus splitting or other problems related to the use of deoxycholate as the splitting agent.

The batch lot was withdrawn and CSL's Fluvax is still not recommended for children under five. Adults can still receive it though. There are actually 6 seasonal influenza vaccines approved by the TGA for use in Australia as of 2012. Out of the six, there are four: Vaxigrip, Influvac, Fluarix, and Agrippal which are all approved for use in persons aged 6 months and above.

1. Older Australians
2. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
3. people over 15 years of age,
4. pregnant women
5. individuals aged 6 months and over with medical conditions predisposing to severe influenza.

Flu shots for pregnant women

CDC recommends pregnant women get flu shots.  They also say kids under 6 months old should not get a flu shot?

What if I told you the needle doesn't reach through the uterine wall, through the amniotic fluid, and all the way to the baby.
