Nothing serious happened to any of them.

Lack of immunity: Some experts report that flu vaccines arouse an immune response in less than one-third of people who receive it. If this is true then a serious side effect is ineffectiveness.

Site redness: The most common side effects of the swine flu,or H1N1, vaccination is redness or swelling at the injection site. The vaccine is a killed virus and, contrary to rumor and internet conspiracy theories, you cannot get the flu from a killed virus. A small percentage of people are allergic to the egg yolk material used to make the vaccine, or other components. For most, perfectly safe.
