"With any vaccination campaign, we expect to see some cases of serious adverse events," he said. "They are very rare, but they are part of all mass-vaccination campaigns and we expect to see a small number of them."

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

Mild effects, such as nausea, soreness, headaches and fever, are far more common reactions to the swine-flu shot - just as they are for all vaccines.

The federal government says it will list adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccine on its www.fightflu.ca website.
