What are the complications of the vaccine?
The complications of the vaccine range from a blister at the site, (which is expected and indicates a successful vaccination) to significant swelling and pain at the vaccination site, to more serious complications such as severe skin infections and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Severe complications will most likely occur in those recipients with atopic dermatitis or other underlying health problems, either recognized or unrecognized. There is also a risk that approximately 1 in 1,000,000 patients will die from the vaccine.
