Which vaccine type is not given usually to people whose immune system is compromised?
I would assume that live and weakened vaccine would not be given to such people.
Are you protected if expired flu vaccine was used?
Probably not. Each year the ingredients in the flu vaccine are different, because each year different strains of the influenza virus are going around. They have to make up a new vaccine each year, to be sure it contains all the right strains that will provide immunity for the kinds of flu that are circulating at that time. Since the vaccine for the seasonal flu for this year in the Northern Hemisphere has just been manufactured and released very recently, it would not seem possible for it to be already expired. If you use a vaccine from a prior year (the more likely scenario if the expiration date on the bottle has already passed), then you will not be fully protected against the strains of virus that will be causing flu this year and may be taking something that could be harmful in addition to providing no protection. You should talk to those at the source of the vaccine to find out why the vaccine would be expired.

Can you get Swine Flu if you have been vaccinated?
The level of immunity conferred from a vaccine depends on how well your immune system functions and how closely the vaccine matches the virus you encounter. If you have a compromised immune system, or the virus has mutated significantly since the vaccine was developed, you may also get the flu despite a vaccination.Additionally, it will take 10-14 days for the vaccine to be effective, and during that time, you can still get swine flu.See the related question below for more information on what might allow you to have illness from the flu after a flu shot.

What were the perceived conflicts of interest in Wakefield's research activities?
Wakefield's research activities were criticized for conflicts of interest because he failed to disclose financial ties he had with lawyers bringing lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. This raised concerns about potential bias in his research linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Wakefield's actions were seen as compromising the integrity of the research and eroding public trust in vaccines.
