It's close to 100% ...

but there are always exceptions since people are not identical.

They work by stressing a person's immune system and the results will vary ...

but the overall effectiveness usually exceeds 99 %.

Is having Swine Flu as good as the Swine Flu vaccination?

If you actually had laboratory confirmation that you had the A-H1N1/09 influenza, then you would be as or better protected from that same virus from then on for life. The vaccination is proven in clinical trials to be approximately 90% effective in adults with healthy immune systems. One of the reasons the vaccines are is not 100% effective is that the strain of the virus that is chosen to be the one in the vaccine may not be as good a match for the exact strain you catch in the wild, since there can be slight mutations.However, the vaccination is proven safe and effective as any seasonal flu vaccines are, so if you are not sure 100% by laboratory testing that this is the flu you had, you should go ahead and get a vaccination. If you did have the same flu, there is no problem with having the vaccination too.
