There were a few different H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines used in Europe - Pandemix used an adjuvant to increase immune response and is linked to a increased risk of narcolepsy, while others (including Celvapan used in the US) do not have the adjuvant and have not shown an increased risk of narcolepsy (based on studies from Finland, China, US, etc). Further studies will hopefully show if this difference played a role or not, but given the CDC's related statement, those "other ingredients" obviously have an impact in determining a vaccine's safety.

Again, this is not a condemnation of all vaccines (or an anti-vaccine agenda
, but demonstrates that the science is not as simple or proven as some of the glib posts seem to believe. There are always risks and rewards and given the limitations of human trials many of these will not be appreciated until the vaccines are distributed to the masses.
