The effects are to make you immune to the virus by stimulating your immune system to respond to the tiny amount of virus in the vaccine and build up a defense for if you are ever exposed to the virus in the "wild".
The way the effects are created by vaccines is described in the related question below.
What else can I help you with?
Does H1N1 vaccines have penicillion?
Penicillin is for bacterial disease.
How many H1N1-09 vaccines are there?
Two: The nasal inhalant, and the injection.
Is there anything your small kids can take to help prevent H1N1 other than the vaccine?
No, only a vaccination can prevent the flu. Children can take the injectable vaccinations for H1N1/09 if over 6 months old. Kids 2 years or older can take the nasal mist vaccinations if they are otherwise healthy. Small children are in the higher risk groups for complications from both the seasonal flu and A-H1N1/09. Clinical trials prior to the approval of the four H1N1 vaccines that are available in the US, proved them safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The A-H1N1/09 vaccines are made the same way as all modern flu vaccines are and the incidence of adverse effects has been very low over these decades. If you are concerned about using the vaccines in children, speak to their Pediatricians. The majority of the medical community is encouraging the use of the vaccines to all who can take them, because they believe the risk of the flu is greater than the risk of any problems with the vaccine.
What strain of influenza is the seasonal flu?
Seasonal flu vaccines carry an H1N1 component, an H3N2 strain and an influenza B strain. The H1N1 component is not the Novel H1N1 strain that is in the swine flu vaccine
Are there helpful bacteria in the H1N1 09 vaccine?
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.
How safe is the H1N1 shot?
The shot has been tested just as all flu vaccines are and it perfectly safe.
What agency approved swine flu vaccines?
In the US it was the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in Europe it was the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) who approved the H1N1/09 vaccines for use.
Why the doctors do not tell you about the bad things from the H1N1 vaccine?
Doctors may not emphasize the potential negative aspects of vaccines like the H1N1 vaccine because they rely on established scientific evidence that supports the benefits of vaccination in preventing serious illness. The risks associated with vaccines are generally low compared to the risks of the diseases they prevent. Additionally, healthcare professionals aim to provide balanced information, focusing on the overall safety and efficacy of vaccines while addressing any concerns patients may have. However, they should still encourage open discussions about potential side effects.
What says the H1N1 vaccine won't cause major health problems for those who get the shots now 5 years down the road?
The A-H1N1/09 vaccine is made the exact same way as seasonal flu shots have been made for decades. Safety monitoring of those vaccines have proven them to be safe with very low adverse effects over a long period of use. There is no reason to expect that by merely using a different strain of virus in the vaccine the long term effects would be any different. That has not been the case when the strains used in the seasonal flu shots are changed each year. The human trials prior to the approval of the H1N1 vaccines proved them as safe and effective as regular seasonal flu shots. The risk of the flu is greater than any risk posed short term or long term by the vaccines to protect against it.
How many cases of H1N1 in Newfoundland Canada?
On October 23, 2009 there were an estimated 114 cases of H1N1 cases in Newfoundland, on October 26th, vaccines are to be administered to Health Care Providers and then to be administered to the public November 2nd, 2009.
Is egg used in tetanus vaccine?
They use the eggs to fertilize the H1N1 strain. But the H1N1 strain did not culture as well, telling use that the shot is not the exact same as the normal flu vaccine. And that is why people with egg allergies are cautioned not to get the vaccines.
When will there be an H1N1 vaccine?
For H1N1/09, Novel Swine Flu: they began developing the vaccine in the US as soon as the virus was isolated and the epidemics were spreading in April and May 2009. The vaccines were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 15, 2009. Other H1N1 vaccines: these have been developed in the past. One that is well known is the 1976 vaccine that was associated with an increase in Guillain-Barre Syndrome after the administration of the vaccine. It was made an entirely different way than these flu vaccines are made today. There are also some H1N1 vaccines developed for use by pig farmers for the prevention of the type of H1N1 that is a disease of pigs that people only rarely get when they are in regular close contact with the pigs.
