Should you get a Swine Flu vaccination if you got a seasonal flu shot?
Last flu season, 2009-2010, you needed two shots. But this year the seasonal flu shot also protects against swine flu, so, in the US, you only need one flu shot for the 2010-2011 flu season.
How long does immunization against Swine Flu last I was inoculated last year does it cover this year also?
Immunization from a vaccination or from having had that exact type of flu will give you lifetime immunity. However, because viruses tend to mutate into other kinds of flu, your body may not recognize the germs as the same and then you would need protection from the new mutated virus, too. The 2010-2011 seasonal flu vaccination in the US contains the H1N1/09 vaccine along with vaccine for two other kinds of flu. If you had the swine flu vaccine last season, then it will not hurt you to take the vaccine again when you get the seasonal flu vaccination and it might help.
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.

People over 65 are much less at risk from the swine flu than seasonal flu.
Does the routine flu jab prevent Swine Flu?
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.

Yes. In fact, now the seasonal flu shots are combined with the H1N1 Virus flu shot, so you don't have to get two.
If I test positive for the seasonal flu could I still have Swine Flu?
Possible but the viruses are very similar, if your body is already fighting seasonal flu chances are it will be more effective at combating swine flu anyway.
