How many people in an average year die from swine flu?

Q: This is for a class project. i don’t care how many people have died in 2009. I’ve been trying to find out in an average year, with out any pandemics or anything like that, how many people die from swine flu?

A: I think you have a misunderstanding about the question of the class project. There’s no average year for this Influenza A “swine” flu because it’s new. Your project might ask about average influenza deaths per year and those are up to 500 000 per year worldwide.Regarding “yarpa darpa”‘s long answer: It’s amazing that you quote and wrote so much and yet could get it so wrong.The designation H1N1 has nothing to do with “the first virus of the year”. The designations have to do with the proteins that are part of the influenza virus and the different genes it has to express these.The reason why it was called “swine flu” first was that the strand was 2 parts swine influenza, 1 part human influenza, and 1 part avian influenza, so it caught on like that. However, when all this confusion arose about pigs and pork and several countries rushed to kill thousands of healthy pigs they decided to change the name, because it’s an inaccurate name that leads plenty of people to the wrong conclusions. Nevertheless, this swine/human/avian Influenza A H1N1 IS a new influenza virus.On the contrary the seasonal influenza this year is human influenza A (H1), A (H3), and B.

How many, if any, people die from the flu vaccine each year?

Q: I know 35,000 die from the flu or complications of the flu. I got my flu shot yesterday and my boss is giving me a ration of crap over it. I wonder how many actually die from the vaccine or complications from getting the vaccine.

A: The two conditions that most commonly cause someone to die from the vaccine (assuming that the vaccine has not been altered) are allergic reactions and Guillain-Barre syndrome. The odds of developing GB condition from a flu vaccine are about 1 in a million, and 5% of GB cases are fatal. Based on the typical number of flu vaccines given worldwide, that amounts to roughly 8 fatalities per year out of 160 million vaccinations. People that develop GB from the flu vaccine are also very likely to develop GB if they get the flu, so deaths from this cause may not actually represent an increase in mortality. Deaths from allergic reactions (mostly to chicken eggs used in vaccine preparation) are more common and average 104 deaths per 160 million vaccinations; however, most of those deaths would have been prevented if the people had sought emergency treatment. Deaths from anaphylaxis occur predominately in third world nations where people do not have access to emergency care, but it also happens in developed nations because many people fail to recognize signs of anaphylaxis and don’t seek help until its too late. So, if you know to seek medical help for an allergic reaction, the odds of dying from the vaccine are about 1 out of 1.6 billion. On the other hand, the odds of having some type of mild non-fatal adverse reaction are about 20%, and the odds of having some type of serious adverse reaction (that is as bad or worse than the flu the vaccine is intended to prevent) are about 1 out of 200.
