Hi Linda - A friend of mine is among those who developed Guillain Barre syndrome after having a swine flu vaccine in 1977 and he's still dealing with the after effects today. His situation has caused me to have concerns about Guillain Barre each time I get a flu shot. I was glad to read that the estimated risk has gone from one case of Guillain Barre syndrome per 100,000 vaccines to the current estimate of one case per million vaccinations - a HUGE difference. Thanks for sharing this with us! Pat
