10 Britons dead after getting flu vaccine

Last Updated: Sunday, December 30, 2012, 21:02
London: At least 10 people in Britain died in 2011 following side-effects after being administered the flu vaccine, official figures have revealed. 

In 2011, there were 10 deaths linked to the vaccine, compared with 18 during 2008-2010, the Daily Express reported. 

In total, 458 cases of suffering from side-effects were reported last year, up four-fold from a total of 108 cases in 2009. 

The side-effects include asthma attacks and chest infections. 

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, however, said the increase may be because more people are logging their concerns rather than an actual rise in adverse reactions. 

The Department of Health said serious side-effects of the flu vaccine were rare but warned people they may have a slight temperature and aching muscles for a few days after the jab. 

The department said vaccination remained the best way to protect against a number of life-threatening diseases, including flu. Last year, more than 10 million doses of flu vaccine were given out in England, but there were just 0.004 percent reports of side-effects.  http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/10-britons-dead-after-getting-flu-vaccine_819821.html

Although the chicken were nowhere to be seen, the team of experts managed to destroy over 19,000 eggs from the farm’s storage.
“We disinfected the site but we can’t be sure about chickens, although the owner claims to have already killed them all,” said Dr Narayan Ghimire, senior veterinary doctor at the Department of Livestock (DoL).
Officials from the rapid response team, meanwhile, said the owner must have sold the chicken upon realising that the authorities would slaughter them all. “The infected chickens must have already reached cold stores inside the Valley,” said one of the officials on condition of anonymity. “If the owner has really sold his chicken, the problem will get worse in the days to come.”
Dr Ghimire said Basnet had violated the Bird Flu Control Order 2007, which clearly forbids the import, export or sale of poultry products suspected of infection. Dr Ghimire, however, did not reveal the possible actions that Basnet is likely to face.  http://www.kantipuronline.com/2012/12/26/capital/bird-flu-infected-chicken-disappear/364668.html

Team to probe missing chicken at Basnet farm

The district administration office (DAO) on Wednesday formed a seven-member committee to investigate the disappearance of 2,500 dead chicken from Basnet´s farm. The team headed by Bol Raj Acharya, chief of District Animal Health Office, Kathmandu, will submit its report within three days. 

The team comprises DAO officers Binod Prasad Upadhya and Deepak KC, Bimala Khanal, secretary of Nepal Consumer Rights Forum, DSP Sarad Singh Basnet of the Armed Police Force (APF), Nepal Police Inspector Ramesh Shrestha, and Jung Bahadur BC of National Chicken Sellers Association.

CDO Sharma said the committee will observe the buried fowls and submit its report. "If they do not find the buried chickens action will be taken against the farmer," he said. 

Consumer rights activists had said that negligence by the authorities had put the lives of consumers at risk. Asked about this, Ghimire said it is the administration which is responsible. "We informed the authorities about the infection. It was for them to ensure safety at farms".

But CDO Sharma said DoAH was informed after confirmation of the disease and asked to help deploy rapid response teams. Basnet had informed the authorities that all the dead chicken at his farm were buried but was unable to show the burial site.

...The farm lies some 50 metres from a hatchery owned by Subirman Singh Basnet, where bird flu virus was detected and about 19,000 eggs were destroyed a day earlier. However, the rapid response team of the Directorate could not found chicken in Pokharel’s farm, Manju Feed and Poultry Industries. 
“We also dug the area where Basnet had claimed to have buried the bird flu-infected chicken, but we found nothing,” he said, suggesting that the poultry farm owner could have swiftly sold the chicken in the market. “He is in police custody for investigation,” he added. 

Kathmandu District Administration Office has formed a probe committee to investigate into the matter at the request of the Directorate. 

“About 2,240 fowls, 700 kg chicken feed and 105 eggs were destroyed by the rapid response team deployed at the site,” said Ghimire. “We will disinfect the place by tomorrow and will keep the place under surveillance.” http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=Bird+flu+case+confirmed+in++Sitapaila+farm&NewsID=359328
