The definition of the term is: “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.”

Purely subjective and not able to be verified thus leaving great potential for political mischief, ie Trump rushed the vaccine so it's all his fault.

As for what is a normal reaction of this type it appears to be about 12%.

Systemic reactions

Individuals without previous exposure to the vaccine antigens, such as children, may show fever, general discomfort and muscle pain (Barry et al., 1976). These reactions occur within 6–12 hours of vaccination and generally persist 1 – 2 days (CDC, 1999). Fever was noted among 12 per 100 children aged 1 – 5 years, 5 per 100 aged 6 - 15 years (Neuzil et al., 2001). In adults the rate of these events is similar after TIV and placebo. (Fiore A et al 2010).

No increased risk of febrile seizures following vaccination was observed in children 6 – 23 months (Hambridge et al., 2006; Greeneet al., 2010; Stowe et al., 2011).

As a singular event, in 2010, preliminary data showed an elevated risk of up to 1 case per 100 for febrile reaction to one trivalent flu vaccine among children less than three years in Australia (Kelly et al., 2011). The Committee of the Institute of Medicine (2011) stated a moderate degree of confidence in the epidemiologic evidence based on 4 studies consistently reporting a null association (France et al., 2004; Goodman et al., 2006; Greene et al., 2010; Hambidge et al., 2006).

Among older persons and healthy young adults, placebo-controlled trials demonstrated that administration of inactivated influenza vaccine is not associated with higher rates for systemic symptoms (e.g., fever, malaise, myalgia, and headache) when compared with placebo injections (Bridges et al., 2000; Cates et al., 2008, Govaert et al., 1993; Margolis et al., 1990; Nichol et al., 1996).

Systemic adverse events among persons aged ≥65 years were more frequent after vaccination with a vaccine containing a high dose of 180 mcg of HA antigen (36 per 100 vaccinees) compared with a standard dose of 45 mcg (24 per 100 vaccinees).

Typically,reactions were mild and transient, resolving within 3 days in the majority of subjects. (Falsey et al., 2009).

Pretty much average for any type of vaccination.

“About 1.5%. Dunno whether that is good or bad.”

Not sure. A certain percentage will have adverse reactions to vaccines. Of course a certain percentage will have ICU level adverse reactions to getting covid-19.

I don’t get flu shots but have had pneumonia shots where you get sore arm and feel bad for a day or so. If that’s what they are talking about here I would probably risk getting a covid-19 shot since at my age I want to avoid getting covid-19.

One should consult with their doctor on things like this as it depends on one’s age, weight and medical situation.

There is no free ride. No one gets out of here alive.
