I always have a sore arm afterwards but it is no worse than the flu jab - small price to pay.
The only vaccine I have ever had a reaction to is the smallpox vaccine from which I was ill with flu like symptoms for a week and it is true that many people had a similar reaction to the smallpox vaccine which is why it ceased to be given to everyone. However, it continued to be used for those travelling to areas where smallpox was a danger and the result was that smallpox was officially wiped from the face of the Earth in 1980.
I believe that if smallpox was present today it would never be eradicated due to the many people that would whinge and complain on the web.
