Looks like due to potency not safety...I have been searching for info. Anyone know anything else??

That's pretty much it...no need to readminister, some kids may have received weaker doses that may not fully protect them.

Aerin received this last Thursday, so she may have received the vacinne that was recalled.  Not too worried-- it was her 2nd dose and the the nurse told me that starting next year, all the seasonal flu vaccines will have the H1N1 in them.

Nothing to worry about. The vaccine is slightly less potent than expected. No one should get revaccinated if they received this shot.

Maykat-- I don't know where the nurse got her information regarding next year's influenza vaccine. Those decisions are not made until the spring.
