Does it mean you had H1N1 if you were prescribed Tamiflu?
Tamiflu can be prescribed for any viral infection, not just the flu and not just H1N1/09 swine flu. So without lab testing there is no way to know for sure what type of flu you might have had. It won't hurt to get a flu shot even if you had that type of flu. The H1N1/09 vaccine is included in the seasonal flu vaccines for the 2011-2012 flu season. You should get the seasonal flu vaccination to be protected from the three most prominent types of flu that are expected to be in the Northern Hemisphere during this flu season.
