No link between flu shots and miscarriage

A wider study in the US has not found any link between flu shots and heightened miscarriage risk among women.

Health officials say new research has not found a miscarriage risk for women who get annual flu shots.

Two years ago, a puzzling study found women who had miscarriages between 2010 and 2012 were more likely to have had back-to-back annual flu shots. So experts urged more research.

This week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said a larger and more rigorous study found no link over three subsequent flu seasons.

Meanwhile, the CDC raised a question about a new shingles vaccine.

A preliminary study found two cases of a rare paralysing condition among more than 100,000 people who got a Shingrix shot. But one of the two may have started developing symptoms before the shot.

Officials say they're doing more research.
