Science & Medicine |

By MAJOR TOM | October 7, 2009

A medical breakthrough has just been gained with the release of the Swine Flu H1N1 vaccine, when everyone thought it was not forthcoming anymore, driving many into panic everytime the pandemic disease strikes, in every corner of the world.

Hospitals in Indianapolis and Memphis are first to receive the test vials and would be implementing it soon.

However, most Americans are wary about the use of the Swine Flu vaccine, specially that it had the feeling of being railroaded, to catch up with time as the disease was still fast spreading.

Possible side effects are localized problems at the injection site, including tenderness, pain, redness, swelling, and bruising. There were also some more encompassing reactions reported, by less than half of those in the testing. These included headache, malaise, muscle pain, chills, nausea, fever, and vomiting. Most the these reports were mild, with a few being moderate, and less than 1 percent being severe.

Very negative side effects were not really reported to have occurred on the testing stage, and deaths were not one of the resulting circumstances.
