To the extent that they can't catch flu from you if you don't have it, yes.
The flu vaccination should protect you from getting the flu. The flu vaccine is usually 70% effective.
If you had a flu vaccination and soon or immediately after getting it you had a mild fever and other mild flu symptoms caused by the vaccination, then the fever you have would not be due to contagious disease but, rather, due to the immune response that the vaccination caused in your body (which is how the shots give us immunity) and it would not be from infectious disease or the flu. These mild reactions to the flu shot usually only cause a low grade fever under 100F and last only a few days. However, there is also always the possibility that you actually have the flu, since it takes about two weeks to develop full immunity from an inoculation and if you caught the flu before the vaccination, it could be what is causing a fever. Use careful hand washing technique to protect others in case it is actually the flu and until you have gone 24 hours without a fever.
You may get the flu. Next year get the flu vaccination.
about 1 percent. It is rare to get the flu with the vaccination.
Yes. For the 2010-2011 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, the seasonal flu vaccination will include the vaccine for H1N1 (Swine Flu) along with the two other flu viruses that are anticipated to be prevalent this year. So only one flu vaccination is needed for this flu season. You can still take it even if you had the H1N1/09 flu vaccination last year or if you had the flu last year. It will not hurt to get it again and it will be the most recent strain of that virus, so in case the one you had was slightly different, this one will protect you from it, too.
Unless you were tested when you were ill, there is really no way to know for sure which type of flu you may have had. If you were not tested at the time, to be sure you have immunity to the swine flu, it is advised that you get a vaccination. It will not hurt you if you already had the same flu, and it can prevent another illness if the flu you had was a different strain. For best protection from the flu during the 2009-2010 flu season, get both a swine flu vaccination and a seasonal flu vaccination.
The common cold does not have a vaccination available. Vaccines are available for the flu (influenza) and chickenpox.
A flu vaccination is only good for the season because the flu virus changes over time. Without getting into the technical details of how it works, a virus can adapt and change over time by gaining new genetic traits, making it a completely different 'virus' that causes the same disease, but is genetically different than the one before it. Because of this, a vaccination of the old flu virus will not last for life. An old flu vaccination will protect against the original, but the new strand is basically 'unknown' to your body and will cause infection.
A good use of the swine flu virus is to use it in a preventive vaccine so people who get the flu vaccination are safe from suffering the illness. Get your flu vaccination right away for the 2013-2014 flu season!
No
Do you mean vaccination? The swine flu doesn't take vacation.
You would not use an antibiotic to stop yourself from getting a disease, you use a vaccination, and yes, there is a vaccination for swine flu.
