A bit of statistics - there was198 deaths in Canada by now. It is 0.00396% of population.Estimated frequency of Gillian Barre syndrome (vaccine complication) - 1 in 100000 ie 0.001%
Although the side effect seems quite scary the death risk is higher than vaccine risk, plus there are milder forms of flu - which happen more often and cause lots of problem - i.e time off work, suffering, medicationsexpense.
I think the vaccine is a god option.
