Mass Hysteria. i have spent countless hours researching whether i should or should not get the vaccine. Whenever i went to Government sites like Alberta, Ontario and Canada, i was told that i should get it, its safe and effective. Its a lot of 'fluff' with no substance.
On my site i have many resourced and validated information regarding the Pandemic and the H1N1 vaccine.
i still was not satisfied...its great info but i really wanted the actual vaccine information from the manufacturer.
Last night was payday! i was given the 24 page pdf file of the actual vaccine being used in Canada.
Lets clear up some media information. The vaccine is not from Germany but from Quebec.
There has been ZERO testing of this actual vaccine on ANY HUMAN or animal.
They have tested a 'mock' vaccine H5N1 on 3500 Healthy Adults between 18 and 60. They followed them for adverse reactions for a period of SEVEN days post inoculation.
Keep in mind that the manufacturer states that the vaccine does not even become effective until TWENTY-ONE days following injection.
There is Thimersol and Squalene in every vaccine.
They have no evidence or testing of any kind on EVERY target group. NONE!!!!!Here are some highlights:
There is currently limited clinical experience with Arepanrix™ H1N1, and limited clinical experience with an investigational formulation of another AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing the same or a slightly higher amount of antigen derived from A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) (see section Pharmacodynamics) in healthy adults aged 18-60 years
and no clinical experience yet in the elderly, in children or in adolescents. The decision to use Arepanrix™ H1N1 in each age group defined below should take into account the extent of the clinical data available with a version of the vaccine containing H5N1 antigen and the disease characteristics of the current influenza pandemic.
i like this too:
Adults aged 18-60 years: One dose of 0.5mL at an elected date. The need for a second dose is currently unknown.and this:
Elderly (>60 years): No clinical data are available for Arepanrix™ H1N1 in this age group.and this:
Children and adolescents aged 10-17 years: No clinical data are available for any influenza vaccines with AS03 in this age group.and this: what does limited mean?
Children aged 3-9 years: Based on limited clinical data available for AS03-adjuvanted H5N1 vaccine containing 3.75 ?g HA derived from A/Vietnam/1194/2004 in this age group, 0.25mL of vaccine (i.e. half of the adult dose) at an elected date and a second dose administered at least three weeks later may be considered sufficient.and this:
Children aged from 6-35 months: No clinical data are available for influenza vaccines with AS03 in this age group.and this:
Children aged less than 6 months: Vaccination is not currently recommended in this age group.CONTRAINDICATIONS:Pediatric: There is very limited experience with AS03-adjuvanted H5N1 vaccine in children between 3 and 9 years of age, and no experience in children less than 3 years of age or in children and adolescents between 10 and 17 years of age.
Pregnancy and LactationNo data have been generated in pregnant women with Arepanrix™ H1N1 nor with the prototype AS03 adjuvanted H5N1 vaccine.
No data are available on the concomitant administration of Arepanrix™ H1N1 with other vaccines, including seasonal trivalent influenza vaccines. Such data are in development, and this document will be amended to include them as soon as available. However, if co-administration with another vaccine is indicated, immunization should be carried out on separate limbs. It should be noted that the adverse reactions may be intensified.
The good stuff. Evidence based studies carried out on 3500 people and studied for 7 days only:
[COLOR=orange"]Adults: Clinical studies have evaluated the incidence of adverse reactions listed below in approximately 3,500 subjects 18 years old and above who received Influenza Virus Vaccine containing A/Indonesia/05/2005 (Arepanrix™ H5N1) with at least 3.75 ?g HA/AS03.
The reactogenicity of vaccination was solicited by collecting adverse events using standardized forms for 7 consecutive days following vaccination with Arepanrix™ H5N1 or placebo (i.e., Day 0 to Day 6).[/COLOR]
No numbers on this but here are the common DISORDERS from this vaccine(i will not enter the uncommon ones)
Blood and lymphatic system disorders
Common: lymphadenopathy
Gastrointestinal disorders
Common: nausea, diarrhoea
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders
Common: pruritus
General disorders and administration site conditions
Common: injection site reactions (such as bruising, pruritus, warmth)SIDE EFFECTS :As with all medicines, AREPANRIX™ H1N1can cause side effects. The very common and common side effects are usually mild and should only last a day or two.
Very common (may occur with more than
(1 in 10 doses) :
• Pain at the injection site
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Redness or swelling at the injection site
• Shivering
• Sweating
• Aching muscles, joint pain
Common (may occur with up to
1 in 10 doses) :
• Reactions at the injection site such as bruising, itching and warmth
• Fever
• Swollen lympth nodes
• Feeling sick, diarrhea
Uncommon (may occur with up to

Rare (may occur with up to
1 in 1000 doses) : Put this in perspective. if 1/2 get vaccinated in Calgary, there will be 500 Rare reactions
• Allergic reactions leading to a dangerous decrease of blood pressure, which, if untreated, may lead to shock. Doctors are aware of this possibility and have emergency treatment available for use in such cases
• Fits
• Severe stabbing or throbbing pain along one or more nerves
• Low blood platelet count which can result in bleeding or bruising
