I took the course to be an immuniser for the new vaccine. It was interesting but I'm still in two minds myself. They said,
. the incidences of guillain barre from the last disasterous swine flu rush out was not attributed to the vaccine, just natural occurence. However, anyone with a history of GB should not receive the vaccine.
. encouraged for use in all pregnant women in all trimesters.
. only being tested on 45 children in the test group in south australia. no figures available on adult test samples group.
. the manufacture is exactly the same as for seasonal flu.
. no added elements are included on the new one that are not in the seasonal.
. the active part of the 'recipe' has been decided upon in the same way as for seasonal, in the same way, under the same conditions.
. it should not be any more 'dangerous' than any other new variant of seasonal that is changed every year as we know.

that's the official line anyway
