Flu Shots Resume in Israel Following Four Apparently Unrelated Deaths

Israeli health officials have resumed dispensing flu vaccinations after finding no link between the shots and the deaths of four men who were recently vaccinated. Use of the French-made flu vaccine had been suspended for 24 hours . Seeking to allay fears, Health Minister Yaakov Ben Yizri received his shot in full view of media covering his news conference. But not all were convinced. The four deaths occurred in men who had received their innoculations in the same location – Kiryat Gat – during the past week.
