If the correct test was done to confirm the H1N1, then, no there is no need to take it again.

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.

Can you heal Swine Flu or are you stuck with it for life?
The swine flu is a virus. Viruses cannot be cured by antibiotics, and can only be cured by your body creating antibodies and using white blood cells to fight of the infection. Vaccines are the only other option, which contain harmless forms of the virus in order for antibodies to be made and ready for a real disease. There is no current vaccine for the swine flu, however, which means you have to wait for your body to fight off the infection. In rare cases, death may occur, but you are definitely not stuck with swine flu.
