Even after a recently released report about the widespread nature of H1N1, many individuals worry about the swine flu vaccine side effects.
Is this fear justified? Or are the dangers of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine the same as the standard flu vaccine?
What are the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Side Effects?
Here are the most common side effects of the H1N1 vaccination:
- Redness and swelling at the injection site
- Mild fever
- Muscle aches
- Fatigue
While these vaccination side effects can be bothersome, they typically subside within two days and over the counter medication can help alleviate common side effects.
What are the dangers of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine?
Despite all the media hoopla, the fact is that there has been no evidence proving that the swine flu vaccination is any more or less dangerous than the standard flu vaccine.
One of the most frequent worries about possible H1N1 swine flu vaccination side effects is the mercury. Trace amounts of mercury exist in swine flu vaccines. Mercury is used as a preservative in the vaccination.
Another concern is coming down with Guillain-Barre syndrome; however, this fear may be unjustified, as there have only been six confirmed cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome due to the swine flu vaccination.
The final fear is that of fatality. Again, no valid reports have proven that the swine flu vaccine had anything to do with an individual's death after receiving the H1N1 swine flu vaccination.

The proper standard would be to prove that a vaccine is safe before using en masse on the population, not to say there is no proof it is not safe. This can only be accomplished though long term trials that have not been conducted. This is the same repetetive propaganda being put by every other major media outlet. You suck.
I have lupus and asked my doctor if it was safe for me to get this vaccine H1N1 ,,,I was told shouldn't be any issues . Well I have been terribly sick! This triggered all kinds of symptoms from flu like symptoms to bowel issues and I am still sick as a dog almost a week later. They should be telling people more in the media about the mercury in this vaccine,,,,,some individuals are quit sensitive to this. I am totally disgusted and I don't see how I could be any sicker from the actual virus. You decide for yourself ,,,,,but don't believe any doctors office that tells you ,,,,"You shouldn't get sick from this" If I had to do over I certainly would NOT have taken this vaccine!
i think maybe patty had a touch of a different flu not covered by the h1n1 or flu vaccine after all they only cover certain strains of the flu. if you think you are sick from it maybe some drs advice is necessary. my son received his shot today and my mother received hers a couple weeks ago. neither are showing any side effects besides a achey arm. i would rather have my son have it then take the chance he dies from contracting the flu. as far as not testing it i have a feeling they knew about swine flu for a while probly way before the public has and im sure already had a vaccine in the works
My wife's cousin just got the vaccine and is now fighting for his life with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. I'm not taking unproven drugs from overseas. Should we not question when a government starts "mandating" vaccinations.?
Problem is, some people are going to blame the vaccine for whatever happen after they receive it reguardless of what is the actual cause. The parents of the 14 year old who got gillain barre 18 hours after receiving the vaccine were sure it was from the vaccine but how can it be? Many doctors have spoken and also find that hard to beleive since 18 hours is a too short time to develop antibody from the shot.
Many propoe don't realize it but any illness or cold can lead to this a few weeks later.
Had my Swine Flu Jab yesterday 30.11.09 at 8.30 am. Felt mild flu like symptoms 12 hours later / slight swelling of arm / sore joints / hot and cold shivers flu like symptoms . Today Tuesday 1.12.09 10 am. feel much better.
i had the jab last week, the same night i felt quite ill shivers, joint pain , very un well , i phond the doctor next morning as i still felt ill . the doctor said it was a bad reaction ?
IT'S THE SAME. Same shot as the seasonal flu shot. Every year they put new strains in the flu shot. This is just a different strain of flu, and it would have gone right in there with the seasonal shot if they had found it a few months earlier. Some people will have a reaction to the flu shot, but that's always true. It's not untested, it's not rushed (the trials were to verify how much 'active ingredient' needed to be in it, since we don't have a base immunity), and we're not allowing anything that we didn't allow before (like no adjuvants from Europe). Calm down.
Had the swine flu vaccination "Pandemrix" 8 days ago. Apart from an ache in the arm for a few days I had no other symptoms. I am asthmatic and often easily upset. This vaccination is fine, get yourselves protected soon.
As a front line medical staff I had swine flu vaccine yesterday. Few hours later I started developing muscle aches and then shivers with fever. I have to call sick from work, which I did not want at all. Personally I did not have a good experience with the vaccination and believe it wasnt worth while.
If you are producing symtems of the flu, you are contageous to others. That is why we are having this strain in pandemic numbers. Does anyone remember when they pulled the live polio vaccine. That is because people were getting polio. The risks far outway the benefits. You still get sick. They say oh well you were exposed to it before you had the shot. Don't think so!!!
I work at a doctors office and got the H1N1 vaccine Yesterday, it burned a little going in. My arm is sore and I felt a little tired at first but its been almost 24 hours and I feel Fine!
Rob S,
Would you mind explaining how we're supposed to follow your "proper standard" by doing long term trials of flu vaccines to establish safety when the flu is mutating all the time and it takes several months to manufacture vaccine in quantity? It wouldn't be much use producing a safe vaccine if we can't be sure it's safe until after the flu season we design it for is over.
Everyone wants a guarentee in life. All medicine has potential side effects. Even drinking water has had it's share of issues in the past. The chance of a reaction to the vaccine is 1 in a million and the chance of dying from H1N1 is one in 100. Make your own choice.
I'm supposed to be getting the injection tomorrow but I feel there hasn't been enough information given about the after effects.. Does anyone know a reliable site that I could find this information? Thanks
Helena you should go to the CDC website.
I had the H1N1 nasal vaccine about a week and a half ago. I was feeling fine the first couple of days, but after 3 days of the vaccine I had the following side effects: intense headaches at the lower back of my head and vomiting. 5 days later I noticed that my eyes were increasingly watery causing my vision to get blurred. On the 9th day of my vaccine, my headache lessen, but I experienced numbness on the lower right part of my mouth and my left eye was closing frequently and slowly when I blink. I didn’t realize that I had a problem until the end of the day when I looked into the mirror and tried to smile. I had the hardest time smiling since my lower right lip was numb and not functioning properly. I had an uneven and unnatural smile. My right eye has a hard time closing completely which is causing dryness, irritation, and watery eyes. I cannot even open my left eye while at the same time closing my right eye which I could previously do with ease. I had Bell's Palsy side effect.
I'm 19 and I just got my H1N1 vaccine yesterday and it was painless and the only side effect I had was that I was nauseated for a couple hours which didn't really both me.
The vaccine has not been out on the market long enought to truly test the long term effects. Half of the ingredients have not even been approved by the FDA because it was so rushed. When you're dealing with chemicals such as Thiomersal (mercury derivative), Fermaldahyde, Squalene adjuvant, and many more you need to take the time to make sure this vaccine is not dangerous. The FDA even said "Children are 27 times more likely to develop autism with exposure to mercury containing vaccines." The H1N1 vaccine does have Mercury. It's just the flu, it's not worth putting that into your body.
I took me and my boys in yesterday we all got the nasal spray my boys both feel fine but about 1 hr after i got an itch behind my tounge and the cough started and now a day later the cough is bad and my chest feels like someone has been poundin on it and my head just hurts... But at least my boys are ok..
I got my swine flu jab the on 30th of November. Ive still got redness, swelling,soreness and and fever where I was injected. Plus my arm is still realy aching. Do I need help?
I got my swine flu shot this morning and my arm is killing me. I also have become nauseated over the last hour. Hopefully, it will pass.
I had the swine flu jab yesterday along with the seasonal flu one. I'm usually ok after the seasonal injection but this time, I've felt tired and I have a sore arm and head. I'm also feeling a bit feverish. I still think it's worth it because what I'm feeling will soon pass and it's better than getting the full blown flu.
I had the exact side effects as indicated in this article, low fever, sore arm, muscle aches and fatigue, didn't hit me until about 8 hrs after my shot, took 400mg Advil before bed and again the next day, feeling more normal today but still low energy. Had similar side effects when I had my regular flu shot.
I got the vaccine two days before, from yesterday I have loose motions and fatigue, hopefully it'll pass soon.
I had my H1N1 shot at 11am this morning, 4 hours ago. I am having muscle aches, chills, fatigue,and pain in the neck. I also was given the seasonal flu shot at the same time. Arm does not hurt.
I had the H1N1 shot yesterday and 1hr after I became light headed and almost passed out. I had joint and muscle pain, from the lower back to my head. It was not a good feeling! I do feel better today. Just some muscle and joint pain!
i had the h1n1 flu vaccine 8 days ago today,,and i never felt so tired in all my life, i have no pep i sleep 10 hours a night and still get up dead tired,what the heck is going on,email me rosaired@mts.net
I don't understand...it's only the flu people. Why take even the smallest risk of bad side effects for such a routine illness?
My girlfriend went in for the shot yesterday and today she has a high fever, muscle aches, a cough which she had a mild one before she went in and now is worse and vomited. given she might of been sick previously but the vaccine seems to have added a lot of effects.
For the folks who took the nasal form. You got sick because it is a 'live' virus. For the ones getting the shot, you should read the insert. Mercury, Aluminum, ... Why would you put that in your body?
I have been to a couple sites where pregnant women have lost thier babies , and not just a handful. Its very sad. Within the vaccine insert itself, it states that they have no idea what it could do to the baby.
This year is unique in that the pharma companies have zero accountability. We know Baxter infected people with HIV in plasma some years ago, and this year infected the vax material with bird flu. oops... Cmon guys, do your research before you trust you health to companies like this. I know they are doing a big campaign to get you to take this vaccine, but that doesnt mean you should blindly follow. If people protest enough, they will have to clean these things out of vaccines or they wont be selling. They can take mercury out.. if we insist.
I have PPMS. I had my H1N1 jab 2 days ago. I feel sick, constantly tired, and have seriously bad ataxia. Is it worth it?
my arm hurt really bad after words.
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
This H1N1 vaccine is just not worth it. I think people should think about the short term, as well as, long term effects that can possibly happen. People please give it alot of thought before taking this vaccine.
i had the H1N1 flu shot today my arm is swollen so much it looks like a golf ball and hurts also very itchy is there something i should do is this a reaction
This vaccine was made available to the public without knowing the long term reactions to it. There is no way I would ever get this shot. The government is using people as guinea pigs.
I had my H1N1 vaccine yesterday and I don't seem to have any of the side effects mentioned. I feel fine right now. However, my arm was really sore few hours after the shot --- massaging the arm definitely helped!
Mounting debilities and deaths from H1N1 Vaccine are being reported. articles.mercola.com
“Serious side effects now reported around the world, from anaphylactic shock, to sudden blood pressure plunge, to death — causing a sense of panic in those who got the shot… even while millions of others refuse it due to safety concerns.” Dr. Mercola
i had my seasonal jab about 4-5 weeks ago and no bad affects just sore arm achy for few days but fine,i went to see my dr yesterday who said i needed it as i have type 2 diabetes and before i knew it he had the needle out and in my arm and as i went in for another medical reason i didnt ask about side affects etc today i feel heavy in the head,really tired,achy body and a very red and sore swollen arm but i really wish i did ask bout it 1st as reading this site has made me really worried hows every1 feeling now days after having the jab
i had the jab yesterday and i feel lightheaded and feel sick am 4 months pregnant just hope i feel better tomorrow

I hope my Ex is doing well she got her Jab at the same time
I recieved the h1n1 shot on the first of dec. Since then i have been extremely tired, and have had a pounding head ache on and off
my family got the vaccine on Thurs. all had sore arm for a day or so but my 16 year old son has been freezing cold for the last 2 days. Tonite he is fevered and litterally sweating out of every pore in his body..Can someone tell me if this is a possible side effect or should there be anything this severe after 4 days?
I had the H1N1 shot several days ago....my arm is very red and swollen...and sore. I have muscle back ache and dizziness. So..it look like some of are in the same boat....Hope you are all feeling better soon

I got this vaccination like 4 days ago within 3 hours i had severe headache...Felt run down and now today I feel nauseated. Called my doctor and told her I can't keep anything down...This insane. I have never felt like this before..Dizzy and really tired...I will never get another flu shot again. They want me to get it due to my asthma...
The phoney flu shots might possibly be part of the NWO plan for population reduction.
The NWO is run by the elite illuminati satanists and bankers, who were behind nazi germany and many assassinations .Rothchilds Rockefellers are heads
aluminum causes cancer.
My husband who is a diabetic had his H1N1 shot on 12/7/09 and except for a sore arm he is absolutely fine. He had no other side effects at all. I took both my sons for their H1N1 shots on 12/8/09 (my 4 yr old for his first dose and my 1 yr old for his second dose) and both are absolutely fine. My 4 yr says his arm hurts a bit, but has had no other side effects. And, my 1 yr old didn't have any side effects during his first dose or second dose. I haven't received my shot yet because it is not available to the general public here yet, but when it is I will be getting myself vaccinated as well. I just wanted to post this because not everyone who gets the vaccine has a bad reaction. In fact, the number of people who have a bad reaction is very small. It just seems like a lot of people have one because human nature is to complain or post somthing only when something bad happens so you really don't hear about the good experiences.
my school is getting the h1n1 shot but im afraid of what affect might have later on in the fucture like side affect and im afraid for the h1n1 to be a
re-call medication thats y im having second thoughts before resieving the shot!!!!
