A couple of people in a hundred can have serious reactions for multiple reasons.

2% have serious reactions? Define serious.
My cytokine storms would be considered serious reactions, they can kill a person.
It's your claim.
Just go to the manufacturers of the vaccines, they are the ones who state that up to two percent can have very bad reactions and should not be taking them.

If you don't understand the possible risks from taking a flu shot, you should not be taking one.

I would argue that most people are unaware of any possible risks. Vaccines are promoted as harmless which is kind of being challenged in United States v. Merck & Co.
Its not as though every child, parent, guardian or adult who receives a vaccine is handed a pamphlet explaining the possible side effects (no one reads the insert even if they could understand it), and that theres a kangaroo court which may or may not entertain their concerns.

This seldom discussed statistic (by seldom I mean never), comes directly from the Department of Health and Human Services website:
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $3.3 billion.
We have discussed the vaccine compensation awards countless times on this forum.
Yes, $3 billions since 1988. Here are the statistics for 2006 to 2013: less than 1 injury per million doses.

From your source:
How many petitions have been awarded compensation?
According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2014 over 2.5 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the U.S. For petitions filed in this time period, 3,422 petitions were adjudicated by the Court, and of those 2,173 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, 1 individual was compensated.
That's pretty good if you ask me. Not a fan of big pharma by any means, it is certainly an entire sector of the medical/financial services field that needs to be overhauled.
But vaccine damages? Either very under reported, or just not that huge of a deal considering the amount of vaccines given vs the actual # of patients who have complications.

So, you think that every claim is valid?
Those who unquestioningly support vaccinations should think deeply about that question.
Isn't that the supposed point of the vaccine, though? To ensure that one does not become a host of the condition?
