No, in the US the injection forms of the vaccines are made from inactivated "dead" virus. The nasal spray vaccine contains weakened virus that can not make you get the flu but is called a Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV). There is a new form of injected vaccine for the flu in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US that is intradermal instead of the intramuscular route, it also contains inactivated virus particles. See the related question below.

Should you get the flu shot first or the Swine Flu shot?
In the US in the 2010-2011 flu season: The seasonal flu shot will include the vaccine for H1N1/09, so you won't need a separate shot for the swine flu this year, and you will get all the protection in one vaccination.In the 2009-2010 flu season:It doesn't matter which shot you get first, as far as being protected from both the seasonal flu and the swine flu is concerned, as long as you do get both types of vaccinations. The two vaccines can not be mixed in one shot. You can take both shots on the same day. As of the end of October, 2009 in the US, there is plenty of seasonal flu vaccine available, while the swine flu vaccine is still being reserved for those at highest risk until the production of the vaccine catches up with the demand. You should not wait to get the seasonal flu vaccine until the swine flu vaccine is available to your risk group in your location for best protection against the seasonal flu. Go ahead and get the seasonal flu shot as soon as you can, and then get the H1N1 (swine flu) shot as soon as it is available to you, too.The nasal mist vaccinations for the two types of flu can not be given at the same time. Live 2009 H1N1 vaccine (the type used in the nasal sprays) can be administered at the same visit as any other live or inactivated vaccine EXCEPT seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine.
Is the Swine flu vaccine more dangerous than swine flu itself?
no, it is not, remeber, the vaccine is a dead or weakened version, of H1N1I was just given the shot and have had no reaction to this point.
What is route of administration of swine flu vaccine?
If injected it is given in the muscle as an intramuscular injection. It can also be taken as a nasal mist that is sniffed.
How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?
"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
Can the Swine Flu vaccine give you cancer?
Each individual may react differently to anything injected into their bodies and a triggering of cancer cell development is not impossible, however it would be very unlikely. Research of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) tracks the side effects and untoward reactions to the vaccines such as the swine flu vaccine. There are very few reports of problems that have been proven to be due to the vaccine, and none I could find of cancer development. The vaccine for swine flu was made exactly like flu vaccines have been made for decades and they have proven to be very safe. See the link below for the VAERS web page.
What does the H1N1 vaccine cover?
Originally in 2009 the vaccine for the pandemic swine flu was a monovalent vaccine, which means it was made to only prevent that one type of flu. Then for the 2010-2011 flu season, a trivalent vaccine was made for the regular flu just like every year. Trivalent means it is made to cover/prevent three different kinds of influenza virus infections. For the most recent flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, the "regular" flu shot contained the vaccine for swine flu and two others. So, the monovalent H1N1 vaccine covered only one type of flu: the pandemic swine flu. But the trivalent seasonal flu vaccines cover three types of flu (one of which, for the 2010 - 2011 flu season, is Swine flu H1N1/09).
