Swine flu vaccine will need compensation program: expert

Canadian scientists were the first to report a syndrome - oculorespiratory syndrome - that was linked to one batch of seasonal flu vaccine in British Columbia in 2000.

The syndrome causes red eyes, respiratory distress, throat tightness and facial swelling. A nasal flu vaccine licensed in Switzerland in October 2000 was linked with a significantly increased risk of Bell's palsy, one-sided paralysis of facial muscles.

Normally, about one person in 100,000 a year develops Guillain-Barre syndrome. An Ontario study estimated that influenza vaccination increases the risk of developing the syndrome by 45 per cent, which translates into about one additional case per million people vaccinated.

A new study of the outbreak of swine flu at a private school in Nova Scotia in April - the first cases of human-to-human infection in Canada - found that, unlike regular season flu, only 59 per cent had a fever. Common symptoms included cough, headache, sore throat and nasal congestion."
