Even after receiving the flu vaccine you can get the flu if you are exposed to a different type of flu virus than was in the vaccine, if your immune system is not functioning properly, or if you are exposed before the vaccine was able to create the proper antibodies from the vaccination (usually 2 weeks after the vaccination in most adults and longer in children - up to a month) . The flu vaccine is made with the viral particles of the top 3 flu virus strains that are expected to be circulating in that upcoming season for which the vaccine was developed. US CDC scientists determine each year what viruses should be in the following year's vaccine based on what viruses are circulating in Asia, since these will be moving west toward the US during the flu season. There are many strains, if the scientists do not predict the correct ones, you may still become ill despite a vaccination.
You CANNOT get the flu from the flu vaccines. The viruses in the vaccines are killed (inactivated) or weakened, so you cannot get the flu from a flu vaccination. You can check out the NIH's website for more info.
The flu epidemic.
No. 10 years of age and younger are supposed to get it twice.11 and older only get is once.BTW: this is for swine fluAsk docter about regular flu
The Spanish flu?
well getting swine flu twice is about as likely as getting chicken pox twice. it is possible and does happen to people however it is not that common. So u can get swine flu twice however its harder to get it the second time and i do not think anyone has got swine flu for the third time as its basically impossible as the first and second time you have to take tami-flu which helps fight swine therefore making it impossible to get it a third time as the immune system is to strong. hope i helped. please leave feedback on my message board.
it means u suk
Viral immunity is typically pretty good for a healthy person, but there are many variations of both cold and flu. You won't get the *same* virus twice, but you may easily get a virus that has the same symptoms twice in the same year.
Not harmful, just expensive and unnnecessary.
Pay twice of wat u sold it for.... or say it is contaminated with swine flu because u sneeze in it
Yes, depends on your immune system . Everyone says you can't get the same flu twice in a row within 1-2 weeks, and if you get another flu within that time period, and it's the same symptoms but last longer or shorter, it's the SAME, it's just your body's getting it all out so you won't have it again. Until or if it comes in contact with you in a few months or years or if lucky not at all, that's why NO one asks " can you get the flu three times or four times or five times within a ______ amount of time" comen since.!
She fainted due to Swine Flu during a concert once and she tried to stab herself to death twice when she was a teenager.
No, Swine Flu is just one strain of the many flu viruses. Flu is an abbreviation for influenza. So Swine Flu is a type of flu, but all flu is not the swine flu, there are other kinds.
Rupert Grint had a very minor case of the swine flu. Daniel Radcliffe fell to the stomach flu twice, had a bad cold during filming of the Deathly Hallows, and got severe food poisoning between two of the movies.
