Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Swine Flu Vaccine Warning
The UK Health Protection Agency sent a confidential letter to 600 senior neurologists warning them to monitor for an increase in Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). The warning is linked to the upcoming mass vaccination program for swine flu, as adjuvants in the vaccine may trigger the deadly nerve disease. This echoes concerns from the 1976 swine flu outbreak where the vaccine caused more deaths than the virus itself.
