PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The Rhode Island Department of Health has issued a recall on certain H1N1 vaccines.
Health officials are warning doctors across the state that vaccines from Sanofi Pasteur should not be used after February 15.
According to the Providence Journal, tests show the vaccines from the company will lose their potency earlier than the date on the labels.
Health officials say there is nothing else wrong with the vaccine, and anyone who has already received the vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur will be okay.
