Hey there fellow user!
Firstly, it is called the flu shot which contains the 3-4 flu virus strains predicted by scientists every year all over the world. And of course, the H1N1 2009 pandemic strain will always be in that cocktail.
There are MANY flu virus strains that are currently circulating, and the vaccine sometimes prevents you from getting sick. On the other hand, you might manage to get a little sick from the other strains which are not present in the vaccine to give you immunity. Predictions can sometimes go wrong so that's how the flu vaccine can occasionally fail.
On the bright side, you are resistant to those strains you got vaccinated against which is not a waste at all so don't skip them! But, you must take precautions like handwashing, wearing a mask when sick or if someone who you know is sick, and cleaning surfaces touched by a sick person during flu season. And if you are sick, stay at home till you fully recover so you don't make others sick.
This may seem pretty long, but I hope you are happy with this response! 😄

Is it necessary to get H1N1 shot before traveling from US to Mexico?
Actually, it is more likely to catch the H1N1 in America than in Mexico. You should take that shot even if you are not traveling to Mexico soon.
What does it feel like when you get the H1N1 shot?
I don't know how you would feel but when I got the vaccine, it was basically painless. And I'm not lying! But when you press on the place where you got the shot, it sort of stings.
Do you get the H1N1 shot in your arm?
Yes. You can also get a nasal version where you have to sniff it. Personally, the shot didn't hurt.
How safe is the H1N1 shot?
The shot has been tested just as all flu vaccines are and it perfectly safe.
Who has taken the H1N1 shot?
Millions..Mainly kids and pregnant women, hospitol staff.
Should you give your 6 month old the H1N1 shot?
nooooooooooooooooo! please don't
If you have had H1N1 do you still need to get the shot?
If the correct test was done to confirm the H1N1, then, no there is no need to take it again. But if you are not absolutely sure that the test confirmed the A-H1N1/09 flu, then it will do no harm to take the vaccine. The only test that can be relied upon to be an absolute indicator of the vaccination is the RT-PCR test, and not the rapid tests done in the doctor's offices. you should have some immunity against 2009 H1N1 flu and can choose not to get the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.
