The condition, called intus- susception, is the same that led to the withdrawal of the first rotavirus vaccine eight years ago. The Food and Drug Administration said it was unknown whether the recent- ly approved vaccine, called RotaTeq, caused the 28 new cases. The condition also can occur spontaneously. Indeed, the reports don’t exceed the numbers expected to occur naturally each year — the so- called background rate, the FDA said. “It looks like this is the nat- ural background rate that we are seeing,” said Dr. Michelle Goveia, medical director for pediatric medical affairs at the vaccine’s manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc. Goveia suggested heightened con- cerns about the previous vac- cine, made by Wyeth, prompt- ed the FDA to act. 10 – WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14, 2007 COMMUNITY THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL
