It's worth pointing out that the Pandemrix "saga" affected very few people.

According to [1], "The UK Health Protection Agency (now Public Health England) undertook a major study of 4- to 18-year-olds and found that around one in every 55,000 jabs led to narcolepsy."

Very rare frequency incidents that slip through testing shouldn't make us over-cautious to the enormous benefits of vaccination.
