I'm quite positive it was the H1N1, because, well, that's what everyone's going on about these days.The nurse that applied her the vaccine told her there were no side-effects, but she didn't seem that reliable, given that my sis had a high fever the day after she took it, it was her friends, other med students, that told her of the supposed sideeffect. IIRC, it happened on the first round of vaccines, so I have no idea if it's still an ongoing problem.I'll try and ask her more about this when I see her, but I don't think it'll be anytime soon, due to our conflicting schedules- when I'm home, she's at the hospital, and when she's home, I'm at work.And.... I think we should take this to PMs, we're clearly off-topic here >_>Please do PM me later, to remind me of asking her, as you probably notice, my memory isn't exactly stellar <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />EDIT: Oh, <a href="http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/h1n1/vacc/myth-mythe-eng.php" target="_blank">look at what I found</a>:Yup, looks like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%80%93Barr%C3%A9_syndrome" target="_blank">Guillain–Barré</a> was the someoneorother I forgot. It does say the risk is low, but even going for, say, .5% (anything under .5% is statistically negligible, if I remember my statistics classes right, don't know how it is for epidemiology), given a large enough sample, you are bound to get positives. I don't know how many people had the vaccine applied, but if it was to almost the whole population of Canada, I can see it reaching 1k cases.Googling "Canada H1N1 Guillan-Barré Syndrome" will get you a ton of hits.</blockquote>
