Should a 27 year old woman who has 102.8 F temperature after she received a vaccination for regular flu one week ago a see physician immediately?
That is a high fever, it would be wise to contact a doctor to see if you need an appointment for an examination. A reaction to a vaccination would not cause a temperature that high. And it takes about two weeks for immunity to develop after a flu shot, so there is a possibility of the flu, either the type that the vaccine was for or another type of flu. Better safe than sorry. Take some Acetaminophen. If this does not bring your fever down to 101o, call and speak to your doctors' nuse or the ER nurse. Do NOT take aspirin. The nurse will advise you if you need further evaluation.

I just had the vaccination and the only thing the nurse asked me was if I am allergic to eggs (I'm not). As I understand it, flu vaccines are made from chicken eggs so this is a standard question. I am allergic to lots of things actually - including dust, pollen, some fruit and penicillin and I've had many seasonal flu vaccines over the years with no reactions. Just ask your doctor or nurse if you are concerned about an allergic reaction.

What is the origin of the name swine lu?
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
