No. The vaccine is only a part of the virus that your body will respond to.
H1N1 started in Mexcico after children have been around pigs or as it's called 'swine'. The "Swine Flu" might seem like a serious issue but if you get a vacination I'm sure you will be okay. Just visit the doctor and ask for the H1N1 shot and there you go; you got the shots.
H1N1 is a flu virus, not a bacterium.
yes, this flu is tough.
yes, because h1n1 is the swine flu and flu's are alot like fevers
Seasonal flu vaccines carry an H1N1 component, an H3N2 strain and an influenza B strain. The H1N1 component is not the Novel H1N1 strain that is in the swine flu vaccine
If you were born before 1975 you are not very likely to get H1N1 flu from anyone because you probably already had it. If you were born after 1975, you are very likely to get H1N1 flu from your kids or anyone else that has it.
Pregnant women are among the high risk groups for getting swine flu and having complications from this virus due to their already stressed immune systems from the pregnancy.If you had a test performed in a laboratory (not the rapid tests being used in the field and doctors' offices), and the diagnosis of A-H1N1/09 Influenza was confirmed, then you would now be immune to the disease. And would not need the vaccination.But if you are not certain that the type of flu you had was caused by the Pandemic Swine Flu, then you would be safer to go ahead and get the vaccination. It will not hurt to get the shot if you had the flu, and if the strain of flu you had was a different kind, then you would have no protection against the A-H1N1/09 without the vaccination.The risk of the complications from the flu make it a wiser decision to take the extra precaution of vaccination than to chance going without it, especially since the incidence of problems caused by the currently produced vaccines is so low.From the Niagara Regional Public Health Department:If your previous "flu" was confirmed as H1N1 by a nasal swab by a health care provider, you are believed to have immunity and do not need to get the H1N1 flu vaccine. If you are unsure or a swab was not done to confirm your H1N1 diagnosis, then it is recommended that you get the H1N1 flu vaccine. If you did have H1N1, getting the vaccine will not harm you. "
h1n1
no, but they can get the regular flu.
No it's not a joke. The proper name for swine flu is H1N1 Flu.
Yes. In fact, now the seasonal flu shots are combined with the H1N1 Virus flu shot, so you don't have to get two.
