MOSCOW, October 31 (RIA Novosti) - The World Health Organization said that vaccines against swine flu (A/H1N1), that swept worldwide, are safe for people and have no adverse reaction.

"The experts reviewed early results from the monitoring of people who have received pandemic vaccines and found no indication of unusual adverse reactions... Although early results are reassuring, monitoring for adverse events should continue," the WHO said in a statement.
