TRENTON, N.J. (December 17, 2:41 p.m. AST) - In a story on shortages of many important drugs, The Associated Press reported erroneously on Dec. 13 that pharmaceutical company Wyeth had stopped making its pneumococcal vaccines.
The company has stopped making Pnu-Imune, its pneumococcal vaccine for adults and children over 5 years old. But it continues to make its pneumococcal vaccine for babies, Prevnar, which has been in short supply for about 10 months, Wyeth spokesman Doug Petkus said.
