At least 10 people in the Northwest Territories have reported allergic reactions to the H1N1 flu vaccine, but none have been life-threatening to date, health officials confirm.
When the N.W.T. launched its mass immunization campaign last week, ambulances were seen taking people to hospital from a Yellowknife vaccine clinic with reactions to the swine flu shot.
Territorial health officials told CBC News Wednesday that there have been 10 to 15 true adverse reactions to the vaccine to date. That works out to about one in every 1,000 people who have received the shot.
Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health officer says that depending on the community, between 10 to 20 per cent of Canadians have already been immunized, more than anywhere else in the world.
