Should you get the flu shot first or the Swine Flu shot?
In the US in the 2010-2011 flu season: The seasonal flu shot will include the vaccine for H1N1/09, so you won't need a separate shot for the swine flu this year, and you will get all the protection in one vaccination.In the 2009-2010 flu season:It doesn't matter which shot you get first, as far as being protected from both the seasonal flu and the swine flu is concerned, as long as you do get both types of vaccinations. The two vaccines can not be mixed in one shot. You can take both shots on the same day. As of the end of October, 2009 in the US, there is plenty of seasonal flu vaccine available, while the swine flu vaccine is still being reserved for those at highest risk until the production of the vaccine catches up with the demand. You should not wait to get the seasonal flu vaccine until the swine flu vaccine is available to your risk group in your location for best protection against the seasonal flu. Go ahead and get the seasonal flu shot as soon as you can, and then get the H1N1 (swine flu) shot as soon as it is available to you, too.The nasal mist vaccinations for the two types of flu can not be given at the same time. Live 2009 H1N1 vaccine (the type used in the nasal sprays) can be administered at the same visit as any other live or inactivated vaccine EXCEPT seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine.

Should you vaccinate your child against AH1N1?
Each parent must work with their pediatricians to make these decisions on an individual basis. I encouraged my entire family to have the vaccination and will continue to recommend them as the best method to avoid the flu."Prevention is the best medicine."The specific vaccine against A-H1N1/09 swine flu has proven safe and effective according to available Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System information after millions of people world-wide have now received these swine flu vaccinations. The prevailing recommendation from physicians in the US is to get the vaccination. The vaccine was also recommended for all pregnant women by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and there appear to have been safe administrations to millions of pregnant women world-wide.See the related questions and related links below for more information.
How many times can a person get Swine Flu?
You can only get the same exact strain one time, but sometimes they mutate enough that your body no longer recognizes them as the same virus you had and then your prior immune response won't protect you from the new version until you are vaccinated or exposed again to the new mutated virus. Other times the mutations are not big enough changes to make them unrecognizable though, and so our immune systems do know how to attack and inactivate them. For now, the strain of swine flu that caused the pandemic has not mutated to significantly different strains, and so the vaccine this year for it is the same as the strain in the vaccine last year. It is included in the trivalent seasonal flu vaccine for 2010-2011 flu season in the US. If you got the vaccination last year, you should still get the seasonal flu shot, because it also contains the other two likely to be spreading types of flu. It won't hurt to get a second dose of the H1N1/09 vaccine in any way, so just in case you had a different flu and not the pandemic swine flu before (you can't be sure unless you had specific lab tests to confirm the specific type), you will be best protected by getting the trivalent vaccine this year (trivalent just means it contains vaccine for three flu viruses).
