While I’m not a vaccine sceptic nor do I subscribe to any of the wild conspiracy theories surrounding vaccines I did grow up in Sweden during the Swine Flu. The vaccine, Pandemrix[0], used for the Swine Flu in Sweden caused an increase in the chance of getting narcolepsy for children aged 12-16. Because of this I am a bit vary of a new vaccine developed very rapidly in response to a novel disease.
