Yes, but the H1N1 vaccine hasn't gone through the rigorous testing that other vaccines have (just like the vaccine in the links I posted).
That is my entire point. People are saying that "vaccines are safe", and I'm saying that not all vaccines are created equal and not all have been proven to be safe. The H1N1 vaccine has little data on it compared to other vaccines so taking it does pose a risk moreso than the regular flu vaccine and other vaccines that have been studied.
In order for the H1N1 vaccine to go through the same testing as other vaccines, the studies won't be done until 2010. Until then, we don't know for sure what the big picture is.
