GSK Recalls Flu Vaccine
GSK notifies CDC and FDA that it is recalling the remaining doses of its 2014–2015 flu vaccine, Flulaval Quadrivalent Thimerosal-free Pre-Filled Syringes, due to decreased potency.
On April 16, 2015, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) notified the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and FDA that it would recall the remaining doses of its 2014–2015 Flulaval Quadrivalent Thimerosal-free Pre-Filled Syringes flu vaccines administered in early January 2015 and later. The recall, initiated because of the potential for reduced effectiveness due to a decrease in potency found during stability testing, was voluntary and does not pose a safety concern for individuals who received the vaccine.
The vaccine is meant to protect against four influenza viruses, included two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. The recalled lots were found to have slightly reduced potency (less than 5% below the minimum specification) for the two influenza B viruses in the vaccine. The two influenza A viruses in the vaccine were within pre-specified limits. Thirteen lots of the vaccine are affected by the recall: 2B472, 379MY, 42N4L, 5AZ7H, 9A3ZM, ZS95Z, A2PK7, AR57J, DR4GF, YF5DT, F45C5, T3J4S, and XP4J2.

A Novel, Enhanced, and Sustainable Approach to Audit Trail Review
July 4th 2025Eli Lilly and Company developed an innovative and sustainable approach to audit trail review (ATR) aimed at reducing the ATR burden while adhering to regulatory expectations and data integrity (DI) principles. The process has transformed employees' understanding of ATR and complemented the DI by design approach, leading to better system designs that meet expected controls and reduce non-value-added data reviews.
