This is a confusing subject for many people. H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" is a disease caused by an influenza virus infection and mostly affects the respiratory system. A vaccine is medication used to prevent a disease, in this case to prevent the swine flu. When you use the vaccine, your body will develop immunity to the disease. Immunization is what happens when your body learns how to fight a disease and remembers how to do that for the rest of your life (lifetime for the flu, and not all, but many, other kinds of Infectious Diseases), as long as you are otherwise healthy. Being protected from a disease by having the disease (which teaches your body how to rid you of it), or by getting a vaccination to "train" your body how to protect you from it, is called having "immunity." When you are vaccinated, it is also called getting immunization or immunized against a disease. Vaccines cause immunity by providing immunization.
See the related question below about how vaccinations work.
H1N1 is bad because many people have died after taking the vaccine, it contains inflammatory chemicals, health hazardous chemicals, and it most importantly contains SQUALENE which can kill you by getting in your blood, (which is what happens if you take the vaccine), and it also contains an ADJUVANT. An adjuvant is added to a vaccine to make it stretch. It basically supercharges the vaccine to create a stronger immunological response. So instead of each person getting one full dose of the H1N1 virus, each person might only get ¼ of a dose along with an adjuvant supercharger.
An adjuvant can cause your immune system to go haywire.
It is also dangerous. Plus, it only saved 22 people out of the 2,200 deaths that took place in 2009. These vaccines contain nervous system disruptor's and inflammatory chemicals that can cause serious health problems.
Please, do NOT take this. 80% of Americans refused to get vaccinated against swine flu. That's roughly 240 million people. Most of those 240 million people were probably exposed to the H1N1 virus at some point over the last six months because the virus was so widespread.
How many of those 240 million people were actually killed by H1N1? Given the CDC's claimed total of deaths at 11,160, if you take 80% of that (because that's the percentage who refused to be vaccinated), you arrive at 8,928. So roughly 8,900 people died out of 240 million.
No, the H1N1 vaccine won't make you sicker or healthier if you already have H1N1.
the h1n1 vaccine does not work all the time
vaccine
I did...:(
Chickenpox vaccine on a US immunization card may be listed as VZV, VAR, VARIVAX, or PROQUAD.
You can take the vaccine but it will not stop the disease. Vaccinations prevent disease but they do not cure them.
No.
YES!
Tuesday-Monday
call your doctor and make an appointment, and tell them you need a an H1N1 vaccine
No, the H1N1 virus does not contain carcinogens.
No, the "pneumonia vaccine" is to protect against several types of pneumonia that are common and will not protect against the A-H1N1/09 virus. See related questions below.
