Pandemrix should not be used because of narcolepsy risk

Jukka-Pekka, Kati?

How to read discussions

Statements: Pandemrix should not be used any more anywhere because its narcolepsy risk is too high. NOTE! The time of the statement is September 2010.

Resolution: Resolution not yet found.

(A stable resolution, when found, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

1 : Despite risks, Pandemrix is an effective vaccine and has clearly net positive effects in countries where emergency treatment is poorly available for severe swine flu cases. --Jouni 23:05, 31 March 2011 (EEST)

2 : In several published studies, the 2009 flu pandemic vaccines appear both effective and safe, having a similar safety profile to the normal seasonal influenza vaccine. --Jpmannikko 17:00, 4 April 2011 (EEST)

3 : The reputation of Pandemrix is globally so poor that it is impossible to use it any more. --Jouni 23:05, 31 March 2011 (EEST)

4 : In Finland, THL decided to stop the use of Pandemrix. --Jouni 23:05, 31 March 2011 (EEST), [1]
5 : Kari Välimäki, Chief of staff at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health argues, that the suspension of Pandemrix is only a precautionary action, and that there is no doubt that in a similar situation, the same decisions would have been made. --Jpmannikko 16:55, 4 April 2011 (EEST)

6 : There have been claims that THL would have had a conflict of interest, as it had received financing worth EUR 6 million from the vaccine producer GalaxoSmithKline (GSK) --Jpmannikko 16:51, 4 April 2011 (EEST)

7 : The World Health Organization (WHO) examined the link between THL and GSK and found no evidence that research funding and the pharmaceutical company would have influenced the choise of vaccines --Jpmannikko 16:51, 4 April 2011 (EEST)
