Sanofi-Aventis Flu Vaccine Not Suspected in Deaths of 4 Israelis, Israel Resumes Vaccinations

Israel briefly halted flu vaccinations after up to 4 recipients died following administration. They have since
resumed vaccination since they don't believe the vaccinations themselves to be involved.
Sanofi-Aventis dispatched investigators. I'm sure more will come.
Further Update:
Taiwan lifts ban, 24 hours after instituting it.
Update:
Taiwan halts vaccination pending investigation:
Deputy Director-General of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Chou Chih-hao (周志浩) said yesterday that no more flu vaccines from the French firm Sanofi-Aventis would be administered until the CDC feels confident that the vaccines are not connected to four recent deaths in Israel.
