For the US:

For the 2011-2012 flu season in the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of six vaccines on July 18, 2011. These approved trivalent vaccines will all contain vaccine for the H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" and two other viruses suggested by CDC for this season (see more below). These approved vaccines are:

  1. Afluria (CSL Limited)
  2. Fluarix (Glaxo Smith Kline Biologicals)
  3. FluLaval (ID Biomedical Corporation)
  4. FluMist (MedImmune Vaccines, Inc.)
  5. Fluvirin (Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Limited)
  6. Fluzone, Fluzone High-Dose, Fluzone Intradermal (Sanofi Pasteur, Inc.)

The Fluzone Intradermal is a new formulation for administration in the layers of the skin (intradermal injection) instead of the intramuscular (IM) injection. Fluzone Intradermal administration uses a microinjection system with a very fine needle. Approved for those aged 18 through 64.

The CDC-approved trivalent vaccines for this flu season will protect against the following three virus strains:

  1. A/California/7/09 (H1N1)-like virus (Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus)
  2. A/Victoria/210/2009 X-187 [A/Perth/16/2009/ (H3N2)-like virus]
  3. B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus

See the FDA announcement in the related links section below.

In the UK and other European Countries:

One of the vaccines approved by EMEA for use in Europe in the 2009-2010 flu season was "Pandemrix" (see information in links below) for use by injection, and another is "Focetria" which is also for injection.

Is the Swine flu vaccine more dangerous than swine flu itself?

no, it is not, remeber, the vaccine is a dead or weakened version, of H1N1I was just given the shot and have had no reaction to this point.


How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?

"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.


What does the H1N1 vaccine cover?

Originally in 2009 the vaccine for the pandemic swine flu was a monovalent vaccine, which means it was made to only prevent that one type of flu. Then for the 2010-2011 flu season, a trivalent vaccine was made for the regular flu just like every year. Trivalent means it is made to cover/prevent three different kinds of influenza virus infections. For the most recent flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, the "regular" flu shot contained the vaccine for swine flu and two others. So, the monovalent H1N1 vaccine covered only one type of flu: the pandemic swine flu. But the trivalent seasonal flu vaccines cover three types of flu (one of which, for the 2010 - 2011 flu season, is Swine flu H1N1/09).

Yes


Is the Swine Flu vaccine effective against the regular flu?

Each flu vaccine is targeted to specific varieties of the flu virus. Unless another type of flu is very similar to the targeted virus, it will not be prevented with that vaccine. Having said that, since the 2010-2011 flu season through to the current 2011-2012 season, the "regular" seasonal flu vaccine, which always contains three types of flu vaccine (trivalent), has included the swine flu along with the other two varieties to which the vaccine was targeted. So in that sense, at least currently, the swine flu vaccination is effective against the regular flu since vaccines for each type are put together in one vaccination.
