How long is the inoculation period for swine flu?

Answer 1

For adults and children over 10, once you have been given the vaccination, either by injection or by intranasal spray, your full immunity should develop in 8 to 10 days.

For children under 10 and down to 6 months old, two doses of vaccine is needed for full immunity. The second inoculation is given 3 weeks to one month after the first dose and in 10 to 14 days following the second dose, healthy children will have achieved immunity.

Infants under 6 months old can not be vaccinated due to the immature status of their immune systems.
