BEIJING: About 39,000 residents in Beijing had been inoculated with A(H1N1) flu vaccine by Tuesday afternoon, with 14 cases of adverse reaction, an epidemic control expert said here Wednesday.

Liang Xiaofeng, director of the immunization center under the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said four of the 14 adverse reactions "may be" related to the vaccines.

"We are still investigating the reasons," Liang said.

Liang also said there was still uncertainty about the safety of vaccination for "sensitive groups" such as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

So far, no deaths from A(H1N1) flu have been reported on the Chinese mainland, but Taiwan has reported 17 deaths of whom two were pregnant women.
