Do most babies die from Swine Flu?
Not necessarily, babies are definatley a risk with swine flu being that their immune system has not fully matured so a flu shot might be an option if you are worried. Old people are also at a risk due to their dying immune system. In teen years you are most likely not going to die because of swine flu due to your strong immune system so they are not at a risk.
Do you have to have a Swine Flu needle to survive?
To survive what? Getting the swine flu? No, you do not have to be immunized to survive. Most people will survive getting the flu, but older people and really young people are at risk of dying.

Which groups of people are more at risk of getting very ill if the flu virus infects them?
The young and old are traditionally most at risk of flu. Every year around 36,000 people in the USA die from "seasonal flu".People with existing medical conditions are at a higher risk due to complications.Finally pregnant women are at an increased risk because pregnancies reduce the body's immune system to help prevent rejection of the developing baby.
Is a healthy 13 year old girl at a severe risk of death from Swine Flu?
A 13 year old girl is in the age group of those most often catching the swine flu. Because of this teens and children, including thirteen year olds, are among the higher priority group to have the vaccine made available to them. This priority system was based upon the risks of serious illness or death from the pandemic flu. Most otherwise healthy teens have mild influenza symptoms and fully recover, but the risk of more serious complications remains. All of us have a risk of death from the flu, and that is why the vaccinations are being encouraged by the medical community for everyone who has no medical reason why they can not get vaccinated. Prevention is the best medicine. Get the vaccination. Follow the precautions for avoiding the flu with proper hand washing, etc. The risk of the flu and serious illness or even death is greater than any risk from a flu shot. For more information about the risk groups and who should not be vaccinated, see the related questions below.

What is the prognosis for Swine Flu?
For most people it is the same as for seasonal flu. Most people recover without complications. Swine flu symptoms and mortality rates were not as bad as they might have been, given that it was a brand new type of flu to which no immunity from prior exposure would have been possible. Having said that, approximately 36,000 people in the US die each year of seasonal flu, so there is risk in going without a vaccination to protect you each year. There is a sub group of patients that is at more risk for complications and death from the H1N1/09 influenza virus. For a list of those people with increased risk, see the related question below.
