Swine flu vaccine comes under scrutiny in Canada.
Fears of severe allergic reactions forced GlaxoSmithKline to recall 170-thousand doses of the vaccine.
Canadian Health officials said 6 people have gotten sick.
Holyoke Medical Center's Pharmacy Director told 22News, the benefits of getting the H1N1 vaccine outweigh the risks.
“The incidence of reactions is very small. You'd have to fill Fenway Park 2.5 times to get 6 reactions and even those reactions couldn't be that great.”
Canadian health officials believe the reports may be a statistical anomaly.
