CDC clears flu vaccine of causing infant girl's death

An autopsy by the Institute of Forensic Medicine under the Ministry of Justice indicates that the infant was suffering from sub-acute viral myocarditis, which damaged cells and led to cardiac muscle hypertrophy, according to the CDC.

The inflammation is believed to have started one or two weeks before the infant's death Oct. 6, one day after she was given a shot of flu vaccine, the agency said, ruling out the vaccine as cause of death.
