Are there any vaccines to cure Swine Flu?
No. There are vaccines for swine flu, but they do not cure it. They prevent it before you get sick from it because the vaccines will make you immune. Once you have it, there is no cure. There are medicines that can make you feel better and there are medicines that will make the symptoms less harsh and the duration shorter, but no cures yet. Get the vaccination if you have not yet when the next flu season is about to start in the fall (in the US).

No. Each year for the US, the CDC has epidemiologists who study the flu viruses in other parts of the world and pick the three most likely to be causing illness in our part of the world in the next flu season.

Usually they predict very well in choosing the right viruses to use in the vaccines, but sometimes something totally unexpected comes along from a rapid mutation that is not in the vaccine (like with the 2009 Pandemic swine flu).
