71 reactions to swine flu vaccination reported in the Czech Republic

A total of 71 cases of adverse reactions to the swine flu vaccine have been reported to the Czech State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL). According to the institute, the causes of such reactions could be related to the vaccine, but also to other illnesses. Side effects of the swine flu vaccination include fever, fatigue and muscle and joints pains. Last week, two patients had to be hospitalized after getting the shot. Both suffered from chronic disease and their symptoms grew more severe after receiving the shot, but they were released after just a few days. So far, 38 people have died of swine flu in the Czech Republic.
