An extensive review of adverse effects from the swine flu vaccine that the vaccine is safe, with side effects no different from those of seasonal flu vaccines, health officials reported on Friday. Dr. Thomas Frieden director of the CDC called the findings very reassuring at a news briefing. According to the news report there was no substantial differences between the H1N1 and the seasonal influenza vaccines. There was no sign that the swine flu vaccination could increase the risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome a rare problem that was linked to a different vaccine.
I think that this is a great find. In my last blog I had seen that the CDC had reports that there were side effects to taking the vaccine and Guillain-Barre syndrome was one of the worst ones. Now that they have reports stating that its not, I bet that more people will trust the vaccine and be able to get them for themselves and their family.
