1. "Swine flu vaccine safety probed over link to rare sleep disorder"
"The investigation has been prompted after health officials in Finland announced they were suspending the vaccination programme there following reports of narcolepsy in people who had received the jab. So far there have been 27 reports of suspected narcolepsy in people across Europe who had previously been vaccinated with Pandemrix, the H1N1 swine flu vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline."

5. "H1N1 vaccine causing fever, cold: Docs"
"Doctors in the city have reported cases of fever, sinusitis, cold and bodyache in several patients soon after administering the nasal vaccine for influenza H1N1. Although reports of adverse effects have stumped the medical community, they are still recommending it to high-risk category patients saying that advantages of the vaccination outweigh its side effects."

6. "Flu vaccine push already underway; first batch causes seizures in children"
"This year's vaccine push has begun with some curious admissions by the vaccine industry, reflected in a Reuters story (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS...). After the usual explanatory text about how flu vaccine manufacturers have started shipping their largest quantity of vaccines ever produced for flu season, the story prints this curious text: "And U.S. officials said they were changing the labeling on a vaccine made by Australia's CSL Ltd (CSL.AX) because it appears to have caused a higher than usual rate of seizures in children." Now hold on a second. If you read between the lines here, this statement implies that: 1) Vaccines cause seizures in children. And then 2) This particular vaccines causes a higher rate of seizures in children than the usual rate of seizures in children."

9. "Ghana: Public Flee From H1N1 Vaccination"
"Members of the public have started shying away from the H1N1 flu vaccination following several reported cases of adverse effects from those who have taken the vaccination. The effects complained of are weak joints, headache, dizziness, symptoms of malaria, palpitation, swollen face, among others. "The only information the nurse provided was that the injection was painful but I should try and endure. But after the injection I started experiencing acute pain at my shoulder and I became very weak as if I have been ill for a long time and I?m now recovering," 20-year-old Nana Yaa shared her experience with the Public Agenda. Kwame Osei, 25 years, made known the nightmare he went through following the vaccination. "I was vaccinated in the morning but around 9:00pm I started experiencing intense palpitation. Finally I had to go to the clinic where I was given medication and came back home.""

"OBJECTIVE: To report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following a dose of influenza A (H1N1) vaccine (Arepanrix).

He had received the Arepanrix H1N1 subcutaneous vaccine 13 days before symptom onset. The neurologic examination also revealed a symmetric bilateral paralysis of the VIIth cranial nerve and intense pain, proximal weakness of the shoulder girdles and pelvis, and preserved deep tendon reflexes. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed an albuminocytologic dissociation."
