This headline sure grabbed my attention. Anything Vaccine or H1N1 is sure to get a good read by any Mom this season.

Luckily, there is nothing dangerous in the shot and the concern is about the efficacy and potency.
The 800,000 recalled shots were pre-filled syringes used for children aged 6 months to nearly 3 years manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur. Testing last week of these vaccines that were shipped in the early fall showed a drop in potency by 12%. You can read more on the H1N1 vaccine recall from MSNBC here.
