If a pig has Swine Flu are the symptoms the same as a human?
The common form of Swine Flu that pigs get is also H1N1 influenza (the original swine flu strain), but it is not the same as the Pandemic A-H1N1/09 Influenza. When pigs get H1N1, they have similar symptoms to humans with influenza. They cough and sneeze and get weak. This flu spreads quickly through the group of pigs who are usually in over-crowded pens, but the mortality rate among pigs is not as severe as the A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Flu in humans.
If you had H2N2 flu in 1957 do you need H1N1 shot?
Yes. There has never been a vaccine made for a strain that was close enough to the current H1N1/09 pandemic flu to have allowed our immune systems to make antibodies that would be a good fit to the new flu. So, no prior vaccinations will have provided any protection for the pandemic swine flu. When you can get an H1N1/09 flu vaccination, you should go ahead and get one to be protected.
