Once you have caught the Swine Flu can you get it again?

Yes, there are many different strains of H1N1 influenza and you can get a different strain than you had before. Unless you had lab testing to confirm the specific strain of H1N1 and know exactly what strain is circulating in your community, you would be wise to get a vaccination even if you were diagnosed with H1N1 in the past. The flu vaccine for the 2012-2013 flu season includes the vaccine for H1N1/09 again.


Is this the same Swine Flu of the 1970's?

No the A-H1N1/09 is a new strain of flu that has genetic material from three types of swine influenza viruses, avian flu virus and human flu virus. The "swine flu" in the mid 1970's was also an A-H1N1 influenza virus but quite a bit different than the pandemic strain.

If you have had Asian flu in the 1956 pandemic might you have some immunity to Swine Flu?

No, probably not. There is genetic material from Asian Pig Influenza in the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu", but it also has components of Avian (bird) Flu, European Pig Influenza and Human Flu. The new strain is very different from prior strains of the H1N1 flu or any other Type A Influenza viruses, so there should be no antibodies effective for A-H1N1/09m
