Thai Woman Suffers Miscarriage After Getting H1N1 Flu Shot

29.01.2010 12:58

A senior public health official in Thailand's southern province of Satun on Thursday confirmed that a seven-months pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage following her immunisation with the A(H1N1) vaccine.

Dr Samruam Danprachankul, senior public health official said the cause of the death was still unknown, and that lab tests are being conducted to find out if miscarriage is related to the vaccination or not.

Wantana Lamor, 33 was given two shot against the Influenza type A(H1N1) on January 25 and 26 at Satun’s Thungwa Hospital. After the inoculation, her unborn baby did not move, so she went to hospital for check-up and found that it died.

The Satun governor ordered that vaccinations of pregnant women be suspended while awaiting autopsy results.

Another case is that of Dongporn Saengsuwan, 32, who was vaccinated on the same day as Ms Wantana. She experienced pains in the back of her head. Taking a painkiller, she went into colvulsions, was sent to hospital and her baby was delivered prematurely by Caesarian operation, alive, but in worrisome condition.

About 5,000 pregnant women have been vaccinated countryside, with only a few experienced minor side effects.
