There is no evidence that the side-effects are any greater than a sore arm, headache and perhaps a mild fever. These are symptoms you can get with the normal flu vaccine, although you may get a bit more of a sore arm with this injection. This will remain the case until we have seen safety data on those groups. If you are exposed to the virus following the vaccine you are less likely to get complications or might not have any symptoms at all. In short it is far, far less safe not to have the vaccine than take the small risks of a potential serious side-effect, which would be very rare.
