Re: Japan - anaphylactic shock from vaccination

90 minutes are too much for a vaccine reaction. Normally it happens in 20-30 minutes.
Antibiotic reactions never happen after the first administration, but after the second...

H3N2 outbreak kills six at Japanese hospital
An outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) has killed six older people and sickened about 80 others at a hospital in Japan's Akita prefecture, Kyodo News reported today. According to the prefecture government, the patients tested positive in "simple" flu tests before they died between Oct 31 and Nov 5, Kyodo reported. A local health center confirmed that one of the patients from Takanosu Hospital in Kitaakita had the H3N2 strain. Others infected at the hospital include patients and healthcare staff. Ages of the fatal cases ranged from 60 to 90. FluTrackers, a Web message board that focuses on flu and other infectious diseases, has been monitoring and translating Japanese-language media reports on the outbreak since Nov 6. Translations, which are sometimes unclear, suggest the facility is a psychiatric hospital and that the outbreak reportedly occurred in a vaccinated population.
