H1N1 Vaccine Puts Woman In Coma
KENTUCKY....
According to the Centers for Disease Control, an auto-immune disorder is a rare side effect that strikes about two out of every 100,000 people who take the H1N1 vaccine. For a Lincoln County couple the ordeal was a scary one. Last November, Chad Farris' wife Amanda went to a Lincoln County clinic to get a flu shot and H1N1 vaccine. By early January, Amanda Farris was transported to a Louisville hospital... paralyzed by the time she arrived. Drugs were administered to keep her in a coma for two and one half weeks. Doctors say Amanda's condition is now on the upswing, and she was released from intensive care Wednesday and hopefully could soon be moved to a rehab center.
