Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics Inc. has initiated a voluntary withdrawal of five lots of its seasonal influenza vaccine Fluvirin in Luer-Lok prefilled syringes. The vaccine manufacturer is asking health care providers to immediately discontinue use of affected vaccine and return any remaining doses.

According to information posted Feb. 4 on the FDA Web site, routine stability testing of the vaccine product revealed a "minor deviation in the potency of the A/Brisbane (H1N1) component of the vaccine."
