The potential reactivation of the new swine flu vaccine raises concerns about the relatively mild to moderate symptoms associated with the disease, says the president of the U.S. National Vaccine Information Center.

Swine flu H1N1 has dominated world’s headlines over the last half year. The World Health Organization has called it a health emergency of international concern. Officials predicted that about 2 billion people will eventually get infected with the virus.

An estimated 1,500 people around the world have already died from it, and many already called it the first pandemic of this century.

Still, vaccination against swine flu, like any other vaccination, could have certain side effects.

“In one case out of 100,000 shots, a flu vaccine could cause total paralysis that you can either recover from or die from or get permanently paralyzed,” said Barbara Loe Fisher,the president of the U.S. National Vaccine Information Center.

“With the flu vaccine in 1976, about 40 million people in the U.S. were vaccinated and in about 500 cases people had inflammation of the nerves that resulted in 25 deaths and actually causes more death cases than the flu itself,” she said. “This new swine vaccine is relative to that one of 1976.”

“Two-thirds of the health workers and nurses in Great Britain were polled and said that they were not going to take the swine flu vaccine, which is interesting, and no polls were taken in the U.S.,” Loe Fisher added.

She noted that in the U.S., vaccination against swine flu is going to have a national roll-out in October 2009. For the first time since 1950s, school children are going to be vaccinated. Moreover, vaccination will be done in non-traditional medical settings like pharmacies and groceries. The result could be a lack of monitoring and record keeping, which may make it more difficult to control reactions to the vaccine.

No one at all is mentioning the toll the h1n1 vaccine took on recuits at BCT at Ft Jackson S.c. in the fall of 2009. There was a pandemic of H1n1 on the base and. The Drill sergeants scurried when confronted at the front gates by the press. Alot of recruits were discharged under false pretenses after becoming severely ill from h1n1 vaccine. Some recruits died....I now have a Cancer and other vets are informing me it is from the vaccine.I knew they did not care about us when I witnessed a male 19 yr old recruit being forced to walk around on a broken legs for two months and they made fun of him...then before he left for medical leave recuit had a cast on his leg....took them two months to figure out his leg was broken!!!! When we in processing we also wittiness ed other recruits receiving their vaccines and then afterwards the recruits developed a strange cough...we all begged them not to force the vaccine on us but they forced us to take the vaccines that was knowingly killing us. Disgusting.
