Several flu vaccines are formulated without Gelatin or shellfish-derived ingredients. For example, Fluarix Quadrivalent and Fluzone Quadrivalent are often considered gelatin-free and shellfish-free, but it's essential to check the specific product information as formulations can vary. Always consult with a healthcare provider or refer to the vaccine's package insert for the most accurate and updated ingredient information before vaccination.

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.

Why are serious side effects from vaccines very rare?

Mostly because they have been used and improved over many decades. The amounts of the actual pathogens contained in vaccines are very small and so the main issue is usually allergy to the other ingredients (such as traces left of egg protein from the growth medium in manufacture of flu vaccines).

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).

Cholera Vaccine. Flu vaccines formulated for injection use inert/inactive virus particles ("dead"), while flu vaccines for nasal mist are made as a LAIV (live attenuated influenza vaccine), which means they are "alive" but weakened chemically to prevent them from being able to cause illness.


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).


Is the rush to produce a new vaccine dangerous and will the new Swine Flu vaccine turn us into mutant zombies?

No, someone is just trying to scare people by saying that the vaccine can turn you into mutant zombies. That will not happen because it isn't possible. The vaccines for Novel H1N1 Swine Flu are being made with the same basic ingredients and manufacturing processes that are used to make regular seasonal flu vaccines. These have proven safe for years, so there is really no more need for concern about these vaccines than about the regular flu vaccines. The government of the US, the manufacturers, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are all involved in human trials of the vaccine in multiple locations across the US. Time frames may be shortened slightly, but the same double blind clinical trials will be completed before the FDA releases the vaccine for use as with any vaccines previously developed and tested.
