Vaccine linked to Narcolepsy | 
Health officials in Finland are investigating a vaccination program, following reports of narcolepsy among people who received the vaccines.
There have been 27 reports of suspected narcolepsy across Europe. The diagnosed people were previously injected with Pandemrix, the swine flu vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline.
Narcolepsy is a rare sleep disorder which has unknown causes. It causes sufferers to fall asleep during typical daily activities, like driving.
Once diagnosed, people with this condition are not allowed to drive.
The investigation will examine if the vaccine triggered the condition or not.
