They are available now. In fact, in the 2010-2011 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, the regular seasonal flu vaccination includes the vaccine for H1N1/09 (Swine Flu). If you already had the vaccine in the 2009-2010 season, it will not harm you and might help you to get it again along with the vaccines for the other flu viruses expected in this flu season.

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).

What side effect are you going to get after 3 years of having Swine Flu vaccinations?

You likely won't be able to get swine flu. As for any bad side effects, there are very few untoward side effects from flu vaccines. They have been proven safe and effective over decades of use of vaccines made in the same way with mostly all the same ingredients (with only the virus contained in the vaccines varying from year to year with each seasonal flu vaccine). Usually only a severe allergy to an ingredient in the vaccine is a serious side effect in these vaccines.
