Flu vaccine has not been used "without incident." GBS is a generally accepted, extremely rare, but possible side effect. The incident rate for GBS was higher when they came out with the swine flu vaccine in the 1970's and it was believed to be the virus used to create the vaccine that caused it but that was never proven. Vomiting, diarrhea, fever, palpitations and shortness of breath are among the more severe known side effects.
In addition, the nasal spray for the flu is an attenuated virus, which means it was created from the live virus, NOT an inactivated virus. It comes with it all the possible symptoms of the actual flu, but on a less severe scale.
