Has anybody developed Dystonia after receiving the Swine Flu Vaccination?

Answer 1

The 2009 "Swine Flu" H1N1/09 vaccinations have proven to be very similarly as safe as the seasonal flu vaccines. There are reports of some serious adverse events after immunizations, as is true with all medications. However these have been in a very small percentage of vaccinations according to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) that has been actively monitoring and reporting these effects.

A quote from that data:

VAERS data indicated 82 adverse event reports per 1 million H1N1 vaccine doses distributed, compared with 47 reports per 1 million seasonal influenza vaccine doses distributed. However, no substantial differences between H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines were noted in the proportion or types of seriousadverse events reported. No increase in any adverse events under surveillance has been seen in VSD data. Many agencies are using multiple systems to monitor H1N1 vaccine safety.

The increased numbers of reports for the more minor H1N1/09 effects is attributed to the wide media coverage and fears of the public over the disease and the vaccine against it.
