Were is Swine Flu mostly at?
Definately most cases occur on Mexico, because that's where the whole epidemic of the "Swine flu" started. It's not really a big deal...Just flu with 'swine' in front. :D Bye- ElectraZilla, age 11. The swine flu is most common just tht girl said its not tht big! STUPID hahaha
Is bloody nose a sign of Swine Flu?
It is not a typical sign of the swine flu, however since the upper respiratory system that involves the sinuses and nose are attacked along with the lungs by the A-H1N1/09 Swine Flu, it could be possible. You would want to look for more than one of the typical symptoms of swine flu as well, to suspect the flu. Nosebleeds depending on the age of the person, can be signs of other serious problems such as high blood pressure, so it would be good to contact your health care provider to report this symptom and determine if your doctor needs to examine you for potential other problems.See the related question below about other symptoms of Swine Flu.
What age do you have to be to get the Swine Flu vaccination?
It depends on the formulation of the vaccine that you choose or are able to use. There are injections (IM and ID), and nasal sprays, with different age indications.

Should a 68 year old get vaccinated for Swine Flu?
Most definitely yes. Though the risks are less for those in higher age groups its still highly advisable as well as a seasonal flu shot and pneumonia shot at that age. Of course if you have any allergies or underlying health issues you should always talk to your doctor first. ______________________________________ Many folks in that age cohort may have full or partial immunity to the H1N1 "swine" flu because it is so similar to the "swine" flu strains about 40 years ago. If you had the flu then, you may not get it - or so badly - this time. And since this year's "swine" flu vaccine is in very short supply, we oldsters may wish to allow younger folks who are in more danger to get their shots first.
Do you have to take the Swine Flu vaccination if you are 48 years old or older?
Yes, if you are under 65, any immunity you may have acquired to any type of "swine flu" in the past will not prevent the new H1N1/09 Pandemic Swine Flu, it is too different to have any residual resistance. In the US in the 2010-2011 flu season, the H1N1/09 vaccine is included in the "regular" flu vaccine. If you are 65 or older, there is some speculation that this group (who are usually at high risk for complications and death from influenza), may have some residual resistance to the newest H1N1 swine flu, perhaps from a similar flu that circulated in 1930. But it is not yet discovered or proven why they have been among one of the safer demographic groups in the 2009 pandemic. However, it is clear that those in that age group have not had the same problems with the pandemic swine flu as they usually have with each flu season of the "regular" flu strains.
If you had Swine Flu in 1969 do you need a vaccination this year?
Just like other types of flu, there are different mutations and subtypes. Even if you have antibodies against one, you can still suffer from an infection of another. The current swine flu outbreak is from a new subtype. Therefore, if you were actually to be exposed to this swine flu, you do have a chance of becoming sick again.
