The mist form of the H1N1/09 vaccine (or any intra-nasal flu vaccine) is made with "live" virus particles. They are weakened so that they can not make a person with an otherwise healthy immune system sick. If a person with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorder, or who is on medicines that affect their immune system responses (chemotherapy for cancer, etc.), comes in contact with the live virus by being in close proximity to the child or adult immediately following their vaccination with the mist form of vaccine, then it is possible that they could be infected if one of the particles of weakened virus is shed by the one vaccinated. The person who has a compromised immune system would and have no defenses against the virus.
It is recommended that anyone who lives with or cares for a person who has an immune system disorder get the injectible form of vaccine, which is made with totally "dead" virus particles and can not impact even a person with immune system problems.

If you are caring for your child that has swine flu do you have swine flu?
Just because your child has the swine flu, doesn't mean you do. Your child could get the swine flu even if you don't have it currently.
Is it safe for your child to get the H1N1 vaccine between his 1st and 2nd dose of the seasonal flu vaccine?
Yes, if they are getting both vaccines by injections. That timing of the two kinds of vaccinations (seasonal flu shot and swine flu shot) is not a problem, in fact they could be given at the same time. This is not true for the nasal mist vaccinations, however.You can NOT take a nasal flu mist for swine flu at the same time as you take a nasal flu mist for seasonal flu. They can render each other ineffective. Ask a health care professional how long you should wait between these two kinds of nasal mist vaccinations.You can take a nasal flu mist for swine flu with any other nasal flu mist vaccine EXCEPT the one for seasonal flu.The 2009 H1N1 flu shot (inactivated 2009 H1N1 vaccine) can be given at the same visit as any other vaccine, including pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.You can take a swine flu nasal mist at the same time as a seasonal flu shot.You can take the H1N1/09 swine flu shot and a nasal mist for the seasonal flu at the same time.There would be no reason to take the swine flu shot at the same time as the swine flu nasal mist since both do the same thing, so that should not be done.

The US govt has included the H1N1 in every flu shot on top of the regular vaccines for flu which is not necessary and could harm you health permanently with the addition of squalene. Pregnant mothers have lost their babies in thousands of miscarriages, and people have died after the flu shot was given last year. The flu mist will give you live viruses in your nose and when you go home you will be breathing out the viruses to spread to the rest of your family. Take vitamin C instead, and chicken soup -you will live longer.
