Man sick after vaccination

A man named Zhang Guolu has developed a series of conditions including fever, breathing difficulty, and skin problems after receiving the H1N1 flu shot on Nov 17 in Shenzhen.

The 41-year-old man, now in critical condition, is being treated at a hospital in Guangzhou. Local experts said his conditions might be related to an allergy caused by drugs taken before the vaccination. However, the link between the vaccine and his condition is not ruled out.
