If a person recovers from H1N1 and again gets infected by H1N1 what are the chances of his survival?
Once someone has had a case of swine flu that is confirmed, then they will have lifetime immunity to the disease and not catch it again.
Can you gain passive immunity against H1N1?
Theoretically it is possible to get antibodies from the serum of recovered patient of H1N1. But it will be available in very less quantity. Second question is to whom you will give these antibodies. Thirdly the protection will not be lasting. As this is passive immunity.
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
How people can be infectd by H1N1?
You can get it by someone being infected with it and coughing or sneezing around you.
If you have had H1N1 do you still need to get the shot?
If the correct test was done to confirm the H1N1, then, no there is no need to take it again. But if you are not absolutely sure that the test confirmed the A-H1N1/09 flu, then it will do no harm to take the vaccine. The only test that can be relied upon to be an absolute indicator of the vaccination is the RT-PCR test, and not the rapid tests done in the doctor's offices. you should have some immunity against 2009 H1N1 flu and can choose not to get the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.
If you were exposed to H1N1 and not contracted it could you still give it to someone else?
yes, this flu is tough.
Is it healthy to jog during H1N1 season?
If you are afraid to get H1N1 avoid larger crowds and wash your hands. So far there's no H1N1 season, it's spreading still. So jogging isn't more dangerous then usual unless someone sneezes in your face and that can happen at the supermarket.
Can the H1N1 vaccine make one sicker if already infected with the H1N1 virus?
No, the H1N1 vaccine won't make you sicker or healthier if you already have H1N1.
Does a guy prone to flu posses immunity against Swine Flu?
No, since the particular type and subtype of H1N1/09 pandemic swine flu from 2009 was a brand new virus, it is likely no one had immunity. Some people may have had some resistance from having had prior flu viruses that were very close to the new one, and some people do have hereditary resistance to some infections, but the majority of people, even those who have had the flu many times over their lives, did not have immunity against the swine flu prior to the 2009 pandemic. Those who have now had the H1N1/09 virus or the vaccine specifically for it, should now have immune protection.
Is the H1N1 bacteria?
H1N1 is a flu virus, not a bacterium.
