Seasonal flu vaccinations have been suspended in Australia for all children under the age of five. The suspension comes after 23 children in Western Australia were admitted to hospitals with convulsions after receiving flu injections.
More than 60 children may have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and convulsions.
WA Today reports that:
“Another 40 convulsion cases had been detected in the past month in children at other metropolitan hospitals … Doctors are now working to determine how many of those children received the flu vaccine.”
