In 1976, swine flu vaccine was associated with a severe paralytic illness called Guillain-Barr- 6 Syndrome (GBS). Influenza vaccines since then have not been clearly linked to GBS. However, if there is a risk of GBS from current influenza vaccines it is estimated at I or 2 cases per million persons vaccinated much less than the risk of severe influenza, which can be prevented by vaccination. Any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. Signs of a serious allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness.

Travelers to the Southern hemisphere between April and September, or those traveling to the tropics any time. Students and staff at schools and colleges, to prevent outbreaks. Anyone who wants to reduce their chance of catching influenza. The best time to get influenza vaccine is between September and December. A new shot is needed each year. People 9 years of age and older need one shot. Children less than 9 years old may need two shots, given one month apart. Influenza vaccine can be given at the same time as other vaccines, including pneumococcal vaccine. Influenza viruses change often, and they might not always be covered by the vaccine. But people who do get influenza despite being vaccinated often have a milder case than those who did not get the shot. Also, to many people the flu is any illness with fever and cold symptoms. They may expect influenza vaccine to prevent these illnesses. But influenza vaccine is effective only against illness caused by influenza viruses, and not against other causes of fever of 1966 when hourly rates of over 150,000 per hour were reached in some places.
