CDC report reveals new H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine side effects are double seasonal flu vaccine

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently analyzed the safety testing results of the 2009 Monovalent H1N1 Vaccine against the seasonal flu vaccine. The new vaccine was recently licensed in September 2009 by the Food and Drug Administration.

H1N1 swine flu vaccine vs. seasonal flu vaccine

The CDC received their reports from two separate databanks, the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which keep track of vaccine safety data. Data obtained from VAERS reveals nearly twice as many serious side effects from the H1N1 swine flu vaccine in comparison to the seasonal influenza vaccine.

Importance of safety monitoring

In order to continue to monitor the safety of the H1N1 Monovalent Vaccine, it’s essential for health care providers and those who have received vaccinations to report any adverse side effects to VAERS. With only two months of data out on the new swine flu vaccine, there is still considerable testing and evaluation to follow.
