What else can I help you with?
Should you get swine flu are you in risk of getting it again?
No, if you have it you will be immune to it after that. However, viruses are able to mutate to slightly different strains rapidly. If that happens and you are exposed, you may still have some immunity, but you may not, in which case you could get the flu from a similar but different form of the virus.
Why do you catch flu more than once?
Because there are many strains of flu virus, so unless you have immunity to them all you will catch flu again.
If contracted Swine Flu do you develop immunities from further contraction?
Yes. Once you have caught swine flu you cannot catch it again.
Is it possible to get H1N1 more than once?
yes and no because if you had the swine flu once and you get vaccinated you propelywont get it again.
Do you have to actually get sick with a particular flu to become immune to it OR is exposure to someone with flu without getting ill yourself enough to become immune?
Being around other people who have the flu will only make you immune if you come down with the flu yourself. There are no etherial substances (none discovered as yet, at any rate) that pass through the air to healthy people, thus immunizing them. To the contrary, influenza virus particles easily waft through the air, and, depending on the flu variant, arrive at their destination (your throat perhaps?) ready to infect someone else.If you're interested in becoming immune to a given flu, we recommend getting immunized with a vaccine approved by your government. For most people, that's far, far better than actually becoming infected.
Can you get the same flu again My whole family is sick and I want to know if we can pass it back and forth or will it be gone once we each have it once?
no usually once you pass the flu to one member in the family it does not keep going around. if you get it again which may not happen once you have had it it will most likely be from a stranger or someone not in your close family
Why do you have flu?
Because you have been near someone with it and you are not immune to it. After you have it you should be immune to it though.
I'm don't eat pork so I am immune from the pig flu right?
No, you are not immune to swine flu. Swine flu is transmitted in the same way as regular flu - coughing, sneezing, touching, etc., not through eating pork.
How important is getting the flu shot when you don't have a spleen?
Getting the flu shot is crucial for individuals without a spleen because they are at a higher risk of infection due to a weakened immune system. The flu shot can help reduce the risk of serious flu-related complications and hospitalizations in this population. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate vaccination schedule.
Does having the flu in the years 1970-1971 make a person immune to the Swine flu?
No!
You have already had the regular flu this year considering your immune system is used to the flu now Is getting the swine flu going to take less toll on you?
Well... Nothing has proved anything like it so i sould guess,but it could affect your immune system in a bad way if it was far ago because it wasnt prepared so it would be the same.
