More serious reactions can include life-threatening illnesses, hospitalizations, disabilities or deaths.

One person is believed to have died from a serious reaction to the vaccine, Butler-Jones said, but the death hasn't yet been conclusively linked to the flu shot. He said it's possible the elderly person who died suffered from an underlying condition.
