Flu shot linked to extremely rare side-effect

In extremely rare cases, getting vaccinated against the flu can trigger
a potentially debilitating neurological disorder known as Guillain-Barre
syndrome, say Canadian researchers, although they stress their
finding should not make people shy away from getting their shots.

Uh huh...well well...very interesting to see that Canadian Medicine is now recognizing something negative about the flu shot. The neurological disorder caused by the flu shot affects 10 in 1 million people. Or, 1 in every 100,000 recipients. Considering that approximately 10 million doses of the flu vaccine are distributed in Canada, this equates to approximately 100 people who will suffer from this neurological disorder.

"We know that the vaccine can prevent 80 to 90 per cent of deaths
in people over 65 years of age in (long-term care) institutions,"

If this is true then why does the government roll out over 10,000,000 vaccines each year?

Anyway, you be the judge for yourself and your family on whether or not you will go for the flu shot. If you stay healthy, a slight cold or flu really isn't that bad considering the negative effects (aside from Guillain-Barre).
