The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control is halting use of an influenza vaccine after Health Canada recommended suspending the product.
Health officials say pulling the Novartis vaccine is purely precautionary.
They say those who have already received the shots don’t have to worry. There have been no adverse affects reported.
The vaccine was first suspended in Europe after clumping material was noticed in Italy.
Novartis makes up 30-percent of the Province’s vaccine supply.
