Fluviral (package insert) "Unlike the 1976-77 swine influenza vaccine, subsequent vaccines prepared from other virus strains have not been associated clearly with an increased frequency of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, it is difficult to make a precise estimate of risk for a rare condition such as GBS. In 1990-91 in the United States, although there was no overall increase in frequency of GBS among vaccine recipients, there may have been a small increase in GBS cases in vaccinated persons 18 to 64 years of age, but not in those aged ³65 years. In contrast to the swine influenza vaccine, the epidemiologic features of the possible association of the 1990-91 vaccine with GBS were not as convincing. Even if GBS were a true side effect, the very low estimated risk for GBS is less than that of severe influenza that could be prevented by vaccine. Influenza vaccine is not known to predispose to Reye's syndrome. |
| Other neurologic illnesses, including facial paralysis, encephalitis, encephalopathy, demyelinating disease and labyrinthitis following influenza vaccination have been reported. Relationship to vaccine other than temporal has not been established. |
| Fatalities from a variety of other causes have been reported in the high-risk population following influenza vaccination without the establishment of a definite causal relationship."--FLUVIRAL |
