Is flu jab more trouble than it's worth?

The H1N1 swine flu virus is here and with it has come the miracle vaccine supposed to save the world.

When the flu first broke out, the media announced the importance of getting the jab in order to make sure we would all be safe. However, there seems to be a debate on the safety of the vaccine, especially in the foreign media.

A Google search of "swine flu jab, safety" turns up over 1 million results. Some articles suggest the vaccine is safe and encourage people to take a flu shot, but the overwhelming majority paint a rather dismal picture with headlines such as, "Swine flu jab linked to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals", and "Boy rushed to hospital after swine flu jab".
