Can Swine Flu kill a kid with asthma?
Because the flu is manifested mostly by respiratory problems and symptoms, people who already have respiratory disease or are particularly susceptible to them, as are those with asthma, can have much more serious problems than the average person when they contract any flu. In the swine flu the deaths attributed to confirmed cases of the flu have mostly occurred in people with underlying medical conditions that complicated recovery.Keeping children with asthma away from areas where the flu is spreading and using all precautions suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Protection and World Health Organization is especially important.(See the related questions below for information on protecting yourself and others from swine flu.)
If your daughter has asthma if she takes the Swine Flu shot will the shot just make her get the Swine Flu?
No. People with asthma are at risk for serious complications if they get the H1N1/09 Swine Flu. It is recommended that they protect themselves from getting the flu by taking the vaccination. The vaccinations do not give you the flu. The shots are made from "dead" virus particles that can not give you the flu, they just trick your body into thinking it has the flu so the immune system will create the proper defense to get rid of the flu if you ever have it really infect your body. The nasal mist is made from viruses that have been made too weak to make you sick. The health risk of the having the flu, especially to a person with asthma, is much greater than risks of taking the vaccination.

To survive what? Getting the swine flu? No, you do not have to be immunized to survive. Most people will survive getting the flu, but older people and really young people are at risk of dying.
How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?
"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
Can Swine Flu kill adults?
The Swine Flu is similar to the regular seasonal flu, many adults and children have died from it around the world, but the majority recover. Unlike the seasonal flu, however, less elderly people have been killed by the A-H1N1/09 swine flu than the regular seasonal flu. People over 65 are much less at risk from the swine flu than seasonal flu.
