Anyone who is not vaccinated against it. Those at highest risk of contracting it or having complications with it are listed in the related question below.
Should you give your 6 month old the H1N1 shot?
nooooooooooooooooo! please don't
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.
Who is the H1N1 shot vaccine best for?
It is best for everyone who can to get vaccinated whether they get the shot or the nasal mist. There are specific indications for who can not take the nasal mist attenuated live vaccine. Those most at risk for complications or death from the influenza virus should also be vaccinated if they are not among those who should not use a vaccine. If everyone could get the vaccination, we would all be better protected. See the related questions below for who should not get this vaccine and who is at highest risk for the H1N1/09 flu and for information on whether a mist or a shot is better.
Why is it important to be vaccinated against swine flu?

Would anyone tell me about the dangers of the flu vaccine and why is it safer not to get children vaccinated?
If you already have H1N1 virus in your body and is about to get sick anyway it can be, because you then get a double dose. That's how all vaccines works. There haven't been enough time top test the vaccine on ppl under the age of 18. But the risk of getting it is higher then if you don't get vaccinated. H1N1 spreads 4 times faster then a normal flu. So it's safer to have your children vaccinated.
How do you gain active imunity to H1N1?
By vaccination for H1N1. I will recommend the dose of vaccine on day one, second dose one month later, third after six month and then every five years.
When was the H1N1 shot made?
There have been several versions of H1N1 influenza over the years. But the most recent H1N1 flu was the pandemic "Swine Flu" A-H1N1/09. The monovalent (made with and for protection against a single virus) vaccine for it was made just before the flu season in fall/winter 2009-2010. Again, in the 2010-2011 flu season the same vaccine was included in the trivalent (made with three viruses) vaccine for the seasonal flu. If you had the monovalent vaccine in 2009, then you should still take the trivalent vaccine for the 2010 flu season. It will not hurt to get another dose of the H1N1/09 virus vaccine, it might enhance the immunity of some people, and you need to be vaccinated for the other two viruses that are most likely to be going around in this season.
What are the strategies to cure and the universal precautions for H1N1?
Monitorfor flu-like illness: fever, cough, sore throat, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, Anyone with flu symptoms should stay home from school and work. Practice hand-washing and other health basics to avoid spreading germs. Most cases of H1N1 have been about as mild as ordinary influenza. Treat Patients with mild symptoms with rest and fluids, and may not need to see a doctor. Two flu vaccines: Receive the vaccine for ordinary circulating influenza although this won't protect against H1N1 flu. Kids who have never been vaccinated for flu may require more than one dose of this vaccine. Second, an H1N1-specific vaccine is now undergoing clinical trials, and will tentatively be available in late fall or early winter. If an H1N1 vaccine is released, pregnant women will be first in line to receive it. Small children and their caregivers will be the next priority, with older children vaccinated after that.
Can penicillin be used to treat H1N1?
NO!!!! penicillin, and all other anti-biotics are NOT affective against viruses, of which H1N1, and regular influenza are.
Who should get the H1N1 flu shot?
If you are asking in general who should be vaccinated against the H1N1/09 flu, the answer is: Everyone who can and has not yet been. That means everyone except those already vaccinated, those with allergies to the ingredients in the vaccines and except anyone who has had an untoward reaction to the vaccine in the past. [Note: Infants under 6 months old can not be vaccinated. They are too young for any type of vaccinations since their immune systems are not developed enough at that age.]If you are asking who should get vaccine administration by the injected route (shot/jab) as opposed to the nasal spray vaccine route, then: only healthy people who are aged 2 -49 are candidates for getting the nasal vaccine which is made with a live, but weakened, form of the virus. The shot is made with a dead/inactive form of the virus. If you are unsure which type you should have, ask your health care professional or the clinician who is administering the vaccine which would be best for you.See the related question below for more details of which type of vaccine administration is better for you.
