What else can I help you with?
Would it be worth getting flu shot although you have had the flu?
Yes, because the flu changes from year to year and if you don't know if the flu you had was this years or last, why take the risk. Get one every year.
Can or should you still get the vaccine if you have already had the Swine Flu?
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.
Should you get a Swine Flu vaccination if you got a seasonal flu shot?
Last flu season, 2009-2010, you needed two shots. But this year the seasonal flu shot also protects against swine flu, so, in the US, you only need one flu shot for the 2010-2011 flu season.
How long are you contagious after stomach flu?
You may be contagious a few days after you have had the stomach flu. Normally the stomach flu runs its course in one to two days.
How long can a stomach bug last?
It can last up to two weeks!! (thats only if you have a "lingering" stomach virus)
How many people had the flue last year?
about 30 million people had the flu but no one had the flue
Do you need Swine Flu jab every year?
No, only one time should provide immunity for life. However, in the US for the 2010-2011 flu season, the vaccine for swine flu H1N1/09 is included in the "regular" flu vaccinations. If you had it last year, it won't hurt to have it again.
How long can a rebuilt transmission last?
It can last as long as a new one. 100,000 to 200,000 milesIt can last as long as a new one. 100,000 to 200,000 miles
Which has worst side effects the flu or the flu vaccine?
The flu. One of the side affects of flu can be death.
Are the flu and Swine Flu the same?
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.
How long was it from the first English colony to the last one?
How long was it from the first english colony to the last one?
Are you fully vaccinated after having one Swine Flu vaccination last year or do you need it annually?
One H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" vaccination was determined to be enough in the 2009 clinical trials of the brand new vaccine for the brand new virus. If you had the vaccination it will provide immunity for life to that particular virus. If the virus mutates into a strain that is much different from the one in the prior vaccine, then there may be a need for a new vaccine for the newly formed virus. So far, that has not happened. You need a seasonal flu shot annually because of the problem with the easy mutations of flu viruses. In the 2010-2011 flu season, the vaccine for the swine flu is included with the other vaccines in the seasonal flu vaccinations, so if you did not get the separate shot last year, this year you will get lifetime immunity from that exact type of flu in the "regular" flu vaccination. (It won't hurt and might help to get that vaccine again).
