over child flu vaccine - One child remains in a critical

Western Australia have had serious adverse reactions after receiving
the influenza vaccine. -

- "A West Australian woman says her three children had convulsions and
vomiting after receiving the vaccine. She says it was a frightening
experience. 'We got home and they were all fine, no symptoms at all,
asked the doctor if there would be any, he said there wouldn't be, and
then when I was getting ready for bed Olivia all of a sudden went
purple from head to toe and just started shaking uncontrollably.'
Parents have criticised the the time it took for the department to stop
the vaccine. Janine Hadfield had her child vaccinated just hours before

Flu
jab scare sparks call for surveillance system - The number of
children suffering adverse reactions after receiving the free seasonal
flu vaccine may be severely underestimated because health authorities
have no way of monitoring people's reactions, experts say. -
www.abc.net.au - "Peter Collignon, a
professor in infectious diseases from the Australian National
University, says the seasonal flu vaccine has three components - one of
which is swine flu - and children may be reacting badly to receiving a
second bout of the flu. 'If you were infected with swine flu itself
last year or had been given the swine flu vaccine last November or
December or January, if you then get exposed again to a part of the
virus, you've already got antibodies and white cells that are turned on
to try to fight the virus,' he said. 'Therefore if you get exposed to
it again you may have a brisk reaction, where you produce more
antibodies and more white cells, which gives you a fever and an
inflammatory reaction. 'So one of the possibilities is that the
children who have problems is because they already had immunity to the
virus and therefore are getting vaccinated again.' Professor
Collignon says health authorities need to better weigh up whether
rolling out a vaccination to millions of people around the country will
cause more harm than good."

there are regular changes in the formulation of the flu vaccine.'"

School
of Medicine researcher receives award from the Hartwell

"The extraordinary evolutionary diversity of Streptococcus pneumoniae
has to date, allowed it to eventually circumvent current vaccines.
[Richard] Goldstein proposes a promising alternative vaccine target
strategy that would provide universal protection against all known
pneumococcal strains. More than 90 pneumococcal variants with differing
outer surface capsule structures shave been identified and traced to
differences in the polysaccharides (sugars) making up the coating on
the outside of the bacteria. The currently available pediatric vaccine
consists of 7-13 of the most common capsular polysaccharide variants
responsible for disease, but there is growing evidence the highly
variable S. pneumonia is now circumventing this vaccine based on the
phenomenon of capsular replacement involving infection by capsular
variant-types not included in these vaccines."

understatement of this century. Surov and his colleagues set out to
discover if Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of
US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction. What he
discovered may uproot a multi-billion dollar industry. After feeding
hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet,
and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating
results. By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the
ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high
mortality rate among the pups."
