Revere at Effect Measure this morning tackles a subject I gave some attention to yesterday; the safety of flu vaccines (see A Shot Of Reality).
We’ve both pointed out that while the data to date has been encouraging, rare adverse events are certainly possible with this or any other vaccine. Still, based on what we know right now, the flu vaccine appears very safe.
Since we have a genuine pandemic threat which has sickened millions and killed thousands, getting the vaccine makes abundant sense even if it does entail some miniscule risk.
Revere weighs in with his reservations on the reporting and surveillance system in place, and the relationship between vaccine manufacturers and the CDC.
