No, vaccination for the seasonal flu will not protect you from the H1N1 (swine) flu.

-------------------------

Yes. In the 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the seasonal flu vaccine does contain the H1N1/09 Swine Flu vaccine along with two other flu viruses. There is no need to get a second flu shot this year like in the 2009-2010 flu season. It won't hurt to get it again if you got it last year or if you had the flu last year. It may even help, especially if you thought you had the H1N1 flu but it was not confirmed to have been that exact type of flu with lab testing at a special lab.

How do you know if you have had Swine Flu?

Unless you were tested when you were ill, there is really no way to know for sure which type of flu you may have had. If you were not tested at the time, to be sure you have immunity to the swine flu, it is advised that you get a vaccination. It will not hurt you if you already had the same flu, and it can prevent another illness if the flu you had was a different strain. For best protection from the flu during the 2009-2010 flu season, get both a swine flu vaccination and a seasonal flu vaccination.
