No. Any and all viruses are parasitic. There may not be any helpful viruses, but there are certainly a large quantity of harmless viruses, which doesn't infect humans, but rather specific animals or plants.

No, the vaccines are purified and treated to remove any such contaminants. Any bacteria mixed in with the virus and vaccine medium would not be helpful, the multi-use vials of vaccines contain preservatives to prevent bacterial growth.The H1N1/09 influenza is caused by a virus. Some particles of "dead" H1N1/09 virus (or in some types of the vaccines-weakened live virus), are the active ingredient in the vaccines that make our bodies become immune to that specific virus. Bacteria play no role in this process.
