Information provided by the MHRA indicates that both of the above batches of vaccine have passed all tests, including the sterility test however these batches are being recalled as a precautionary measure to ensure that there are no grounds for anyone to be concerned.
Parents who are concerned about this recall are advised to contact their doctor. Different vaccines and different batches of Menjugate are not affected by this recall.
Action: Clinicians should be aware of this recall and ensure that appropriate action is undertaken. Worried parents can be reassured if it is found that a different batch of Menjugate has been used.
