Yes, if the flu that caused the first bout was not the 2009 Swine Flu. If the symptoms were bad enough to weaken your natural responses and immune system, you may also have more severe symptoms than if you were more healthy at the time of the second viral infection.
Do everything to improve your immune system and you'll be better able to fight microbial diseases including the "swine flu". Vitamin C supplements and a healthy diet, plenty of fluids and rest will help.
The best advice for prevention is to get the vaccination. Also use proper hand washing regularly and avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. See related questions for additional information on preventing swine flu infections and proper hand washing techniques.

Can you catch Swine Flu after having the Swine Flu jab 2 months ago?
If you are an otherwise healthy adult, no. An adult becomes immune to the flu in the vaccine typically within two weeks of the injection. The swine flu vaccine was producing good immune responses that allowed people to be immune within 8 to 10 days on average. Immuno-compromised adults (with HIV/AIDS, on chemotherapy for cancer or on immune suppressing drugs after organ transplants, etc.) may not have good immune responses at all, so it is possible for them. Doctors recommend that they continue all safety precautions such as frequent hand washing, avoiding crowded public places, staying at least six feet away from someone infected, etc. even after receiving immunizations. In children under 10, it is be possible, but less likely. Because they have immature immune systems, there is not as good an immune response as older people will have, so they need more than one vaccination before their bodies can react to produce enough antibodies to protect them. The first vaccination is followed in a month with a second dose and then in approximately 3 to 4 weeks after that they should be fully protected. See also the related question below for more about getting the flu after a flu vaccination.
