How many times should you take H1N1 flu shot?

There are different kinds of H1N1 viruses, you can catch the exact same kind only once in your lifetime. The Type A, H1N1/09 influenza virus that caused the pandemic is different than other H1N1 viruses. So you could get infected by more than one type of H1N1 in your lifetime, but not the exact same Type A, H1N1/09. Usually your body recognizes a very similar type of flu as the same and can prepare defenses for it quickly because of the prior immune response to the other one, but if different enough you will have to start over with a new immune response that allows time for the virus to make you feel ill before you can begin to "kill" the new type. The answer is that you can catch the same one only once, but you can still catch all the other H1N1 viruses (one time each) after that.

Why it is difficult to produce immunity to common cold?

It's difficult to produce immunity to a common cold because the common cold is not one virus - it is over 700 viruses at last count. Rarely are more than 200 local to any particular area, but that is still, in effect, 200 different colds you can catch. Children tend to get the most colds, as all colds viruses are "new" to them. The amount of colds a person gets as they get older tends to decline, for that same reason - they've already had most of the indigenous colds viruses.


Are you immune to other colds if you have a cold?

Not necessarily. Although you are immune to the form of cold that you may have, there are thousands, even millions of different germs and bacteria that cause colds. Surprisingly, each cold will have different, if not obvious, symptoms. Basically, you cannot be reinfected by the same form of bacteria twice, but you can be infected by other forms. There is no way to be completely immune to colds.
