OTTAWA — The country's chief public health officer says few Canadians have suffered serious side effects from the swine-flu shot.

Dr. David Butler-Jones says that of the 6.5 million people who have received the H1N1 vaccine, only 36 have had serious adverse reactions.

More serious reactions can include life-threatening illnesses, hospitalizations, disabilities or deaths.
