The possibility of an adverse anaphylaxis reaction is well known.

My immunologist did a full immunological workup on me in advance of vaccine availability and advised me to wait about three months after the vaccine roll-out started to see what the real anaphylaxis reaction rate was. After waiting the three months, she advised me to take both H1 and H2 antihistamines the day before, the day of, and the day after vaccination; keep an EpiPen (auto-epinephrine injector) on hand; and wait 30 minutes at the clinic after injection rather than the normal 10-15 minutes. I also made sure that they had emergency oxygen on-site as well. All went well with both shots and the EpiPen was not needed.

So there ARE things you can do if you are concerned about possible anaphylaxis. If you are concerned, get your doctor to order a full immunological Immuno Globulin workup for you to see if you are predisposed to problems.

Sounds like way too much risk for a bad cold with a 99.8% survival rate. If you are not really old, really fat or sucky I would avoid the vaccine.
