If the correct test was done to confirm the H1N1, then, no there is no need to take it again. But if you are not absolutely sure that the test confirmed the A-H1N1/09 flu, then it will do no harm to take the vaccine. 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.

No, the shot contains a dead organism from the h1n1 flu. When you get the shot your body creates antibodies to fight the flu. Then your body fights the flu before it can infect your body. If you've already have the flu, you already have antibodies to fight the flu
