Germany became the fourth country Thursday to ban sales of flu vaccines made by Swiss pharmaceutical

following embargoes by Italy, Switzerland and Austria.
Announcing the latest ban, German health authorities said four batches of the Begripal flu vaccine -- also marketed as Agrippal -- and one batch of the Fluad vaccine were no longer for sale.
Novartis insisted earlier Thursday that both vaccines were safe despite concerns over impurities.
"Novartis confirms its confidence in the safety and efficacy of its seasonal influenza vaccines," the company said in a statement.

1. Oh great! I just had my first shot in 10 years.

I decided since I was going to be out so much this winter, I should do this. I hope it wasn't a mistake. I remember a swine flu vaccine that was a real killer.
