Having TB or any lung disease makes you at higher risk of catching and having complications from Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Flu).People with underlying medical problems, and especially those involving the lungs, are strongly encouraged to get the swine flu vaccine when it is available. You will likely be on the priority list to be able to receive the vaccine among the first groups to get the flu shots. Watch your local news programs, talk to your pulmonologist or attending doctor, and stay alert for news releases about the vaccination program in your location.
