Can you get Swine Flu if you have been vaccinated?
The level of immunity conferred from a vaccine depends on how well your immune system functions and how closely the vaccine matches the virus you encounter. If you have a compromised immune system, or the virus has mutated significantly since the vaccine was developed, you may also get the flu despite a vaccination.Additionally, it will take 10-14 days for the vaccine to be effective, and during that time, you can still get swine flu.See the related question below for more information on what might allow you to have illness from the flu after a flu shot.
Does feces have germs?
Feces does have germs, though they are not usually dangerous if you have a healthy immune system. See related link below for more information on fecal hygiene.
Why does lack of an immune system result in AIDS?
Lack of an immune system alone does not result in AIDS; you can have a deficient immune system from cancer, congenital defect or allergic reaction to certain drugs. AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the end-stage of the disease complex caused by infection with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). AIDS was named and described in the medical literature before HIV was discovered, which explains why there are two names for essentially one disease. A person is diagnosed with AIDS when the person is HIV positive and has a circulating T-cell count below 200/ml. Functionally, this person has little to no adaptive immune system, although the innate immune system is still functioning to some degree.
What does your immune system produce after vaccination?
Antibodies against that particular infectious agent in the vaccine. See the related question below for more information on how vaccines affect your body.
What are low eosinophils?
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell, part of the immune system. In people with lupus, the white cell count including eosinophils, is typically below normal.
What are the effects of H1N1 vaccines?
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.
Is Erythromycin an antibiotic?
Yes. It's often used for people who are allergic to penicillin.
What problems can go wrong with the immune system?
There are many diseases that involve some aspect of the immune system function or malfunction. The most obvious would be infectious diseases such as bacterial, viral and parasitic infections.Hormones affect the immune system, so diseases that disrupt normal hormonal activity can affect the immune system.Diseases that affect the sleep cycles also can affect the immune system since sleep deprivation has negative impacts on the immune system (e.g., sleep apnea, insomnia, etc.).Other diseases or disorders of the immune system can manifest with over-activity and some with under-activity of the immune function, some are congenital and some are acquired, some are due to diseases that are damaging to parts of the immune system itself (e.g., alcoholism, obesity, drug use, malnutrition such as Vitamin D deficiency, etc.), and some diseases are affected by the immune system function or malfunction.The immune system function can also be modified and affected by the treatment and medication used for some diseases and conditions, such as anti-rejection drugs used in transplants and in autoimmune diseases and anti-neoplastic chemotherapy (cancer treatment) drugs. Another that can damage the immune system function is radiation therapy.Some examples of immune system diseases and disorders are: HIV/AIDS, systemic Lupus (SLE or systemic lupus erythematosis), and other autoimmune disorders, leukemia, lymphoma and other cancers, mononucleosis, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, allergies, asthma, Crohn's Disease, MS, Guillan-Barre syndrome.

Can you catch the Swine Flu from a child who has had the Swine Flu mist?
The mist form of the H1N1/09 vaccine (or any intra-nasal flu vaccine) is made with "live" virus particles. They are weakened so that they can not make a person with an otherwise healthy immune system sick. If a person with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorder, or who is on medicines that affect their immune system responses (chemotherapy for cancer, etc.), comes in contact with the live virus by being in close proximity to the child or adult immediately following their vaccination with the mist form of vaccine, then it is possible that they could be infected if one of the particles of weakened virus is shed by the one vaccinated. The person who has a compromised immune system would and have no defenses against the virus. It is recommended that anyone who lives with or cares for a person who has an immune system disorder get the injectible form of vaccine, which is made with totally "dead" virus particles and can not impact even a person with immune system problems. See the related questions below for more information on this subject.
