The European Medicines Agency has launched a review of the swine flu vaccine Pandemrix, following reports of a link with the vaccine and the sleep disorder narcolepsy.
The review is to be carried out by the agency at the request of the European Commission following a limited number of cases of narcolepsy following Pandemrix vaccination, reported mainly in Finland and Sweden.
