There is a minute risk involved with any vaccinations & always has been. Nobody can guarantee they're 100% safe. Life is a risky business, there are no guarantees.

She didn't have the swine flu vaccine. She had the seasonal flu one.

True. You just need to weigh up the risks..

I am Diabetic so I wil be having the Swine Flu shot the same as I had the Flu shot, any potential risk outweighs me actually getting the Flu.

A teenage Virginia athlete is in a wheel chair now after suffering Guillain-Barre Syndrome within hours after receiving an H1N1 swine flu vaccine shot. 14-year-old Jordan McFarland developed severe headaches, muscle spasms and weakness in his legs after being injected.

Better?

Then good job that I am not a teenager or american.

The potential hazard to my health is more of an incentive to have the Swine flu shot due to being diabetic.

So far, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have received five reports of GBS in people who received the H1N1 vaccine since Oct. 6, not including Jordan’s case, said Dr. Claudia J. Vellozzi, deputy director for immunization safety.

Out of about 40 million doses of H1N1 vaccine available to date, that’s a far lower rate of GBS than the 1 case that develops in every 1 million people who receive the regular flu vaccine.

"It's much less than we'd expect," she said, adding that many cases go unreported.
In 1976, about 1 additional case of GBS developed in every 100,000 people who were vaccinated against the swine flu, according to the CDC.

There is no evidence at all that this is any more dangerous than the normal flu vaccine. It's important to keep isolated cases in perspective and not to contribute to a sense of fear and distrust around the vaccine. The media will focus on any illness that occurs after a vaccination, related or not, in an attempt to drive panic. So let's keep calm and point out there is no evidence for this fear.

I have my appointment now to have the flu shot and a pnemonia vaccine.

Quite right as I have already had the Flu jab and this is the next one in line.

I am not scaremongering but when I had the pneumonia jab my arm swelled up, the pain and heat it gave off were not nice so I had to have a course of antibiotics to cure that ! Best of luck !

You have cause for concern and just want to give a heads up.

My mother had a nasty reaction to that as well, apparently a fair few people at the local GP's had the same reaction (they think it may have been something to do with the needles from what my mum said).

Just had the normal flu jab with no problems and I have been booked in to have the swine flu jab on Wednesday !
