What else can I help you with?
Is it safe to get both the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1-09 virus flu shot?
Yes. In fact, now the seasonal flu shots are combined with the H1N1 Virus flu shot, so you don't have to get two.
Why are vaccines for Swine Flu not available?
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.
What states have the swine flu vaccine available now?
Pulaski County, Kentucky has it!
Is flu shot safe with lamictal and seroquel?
I havent had a problem with it yet. Its been 2 weeks since I got the flu shot. So if something were to happen I feel it would have by now. I am sure its perfectly safe. But not everyone is the same.
Why does your shoulder still hurt after 3 weeks from getting the flu shot?
No. All patients should have healed by now.
How did all of the Swine Flu get destroyed?
Although the H1N1/09 Pandemic has been declared ended by the World Health Organization and we have entered the "Post Pandemic Phase", that doesn't mean that all of the swine flu is destroyed. The pandemic did spread the virus to every country in the world, but there still are outbreaks in some areas as of October 2010. There are no more widespread pandemic proportions of the infection or epidemics but the outbreaks continue. Because it is expected to continue to cause the swine flu again this season, it is important for everyone to get their flu shot now in the US. The flu vaccination for this 2010-2011 flu season will include the vaccine for H1N1/09, so if you haven't had your regular flu shot yet, now is the time to get it to protect you from getting H1N1/09 as well as the two other types of flu viruses included in this year's influenza vaccination.

Why do some people take Swine Flu more seriously than regular flu when regular flu killed more people?
because the media made it sound very bad "oo were all going to die." they do tthis just to sell. i'v had swine flu and then two weeks later i got regular flu its just something that makes good press. now that the media have squezed everything out of it we don't here about it in the papers anymore so people asume its over.
You paid to get a flu shot a month ago Now your work is giving these for free Should you get a second flu shot?
AnswerNo, not if it is the same exact vaccine, there are no benefits to receiving the same shot twice when you are an adult (children need to get flu vaccines in a series of two vaccinations if they are under 10).Talk to your employer, in situations like this, some employers will give the free flu shot to a spouse or other family member if you ask, or if they can't give it to your household member free, sometimes they will offer it for a discount. This is especially true if they anticipate having left over vaccine after all employees who want the shot have taken theirs.
What is Flu?
That refers to Type A influenza viruses that are common with our seasonal flu. There are two flu types that humans get: Type A and Type B. The flu vaccine contains some of both types to prevent infections from them. All of the flu pandemics we have had over history have been caused by Type A flu viruses, they are typically very easily transmitted from person to person. Don't forget to get a flu shot ASAP now that it is October - the start of the Northern Hemisphere flu season.
Local retailers are offering flu shots right now that they claim include the H1N1 strain while the CDC states that an H1N1 vaccine will not be available until mid October - what gives?
The seasonal flu shots for the 2009-2010 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere do not contain the vaccine for Pandemic A-H1N1/09 Swine Flu.To be fully protected from influenza this season, you will need to take the regular seasonal flu shot and then also another shot of the Pandemic A-H1N1/09 Swine Flu vaccine. Children will need two shots of the swine flu vaccine a month apart if they are under ten.As of today, September 16, 2009, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is just finishing approvals for use of the new A-H1N1/09 Pandemic flu vaccine. It is not yet on the market, so if you are being told it is in the flu shot already out, then they are mistaken.There are different strains of the H1N1 virus and one of them is a typical and frequently seen seasonal flu strain. The 2009 - 2010 seasonal flu vaccine does contain a strain of H1N1 flu that is not the same as the A-H1N1/09 Pandemic swine flu. So it is likely that which has caused the confusion in this case.The seasonal flu vaccine for the 2009-2010 flu season contains the following strains of virus :A/Brisbane/59/2007(H1N1)-like virus;A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2)-like virus;B/Brisbane 60/2008-like antigens.
What is flu A?

All of the flu pandemics we have had over history have been caused by Type A flu viruses, they are typically very easily transmitted from person to person.
