You have the flu but tested negative for the swine what is that?
It is almost assuredly the regular seasonal flu, there are still cases of it in the US, although it is slowing down considerably as of early June 2009. And the flu season is just beginning in the Southern Hemisphere where it is expected there will be regular seasonal flu as well as 2009 Swine Flu (Novel H1N1) cases circulating at the same time.
Name all the states that have the Swine Flu?
All of the US States have had epidemics of swine flu and many continue to still have cases in September 2009. It is expected that a new wave of the Pandemic flu will hit the US again during the regular flu season along with the strains that are expected to be the seasonal flus this year.
Should you get the flu shot first or the Swine Flu shot?
In the US in the 2010-2011 flu season: The seasonal flu shot will include the vaccine for H1N1/09, so you won't need a separate shot for the swine flu this year, and you will get all the protection in one vaccination.In the 2009-2010 flu season:It doesn't matter which shot you get first, as far as being protected from both the seasonal flu and the swine flu is concerned, as long as you do get both types of vaccinations. The two vaccines can not be mixed in one shot. You can take both shots on the same day. As of the end of October, 2009 in the US, there is plenty of seasonal flu vaccine available, while the swine flu vaccine is still being reserved for those at highest risk until the production of the vaccine catches up with the demand. You should not wait to get the seasonal flu vaccine until the swine flu vaccine is available to your risk group in your location for best protection against the seasonal flu. Go ahead and get the seasonal flu shot as soon as you can, and then get the H1N1 (swine flu) shot as soon as it is available to you, too.The nasal mist vaccinations for the two types of flu can not be given at the same time. Live 2009 H1N1 vaccine (the type used in the nasal sprays) can be administered at the same visit as any other live or inactivated vaccine EXCEPT seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine.
Is Swine Flu forgotten?
No it is not a lot of people have still got swine flu. Even the news is no doubt still going on about it.
Is the Swine Flu vaccine a one time flu shot or do you have to get one every year?
If the swine flu virus doesn't mutate too much, then the vaccination for the original type of swine flu that you had should still protect you from it. But if it has mutated then you might need a different vaccine for that slightly different virus. However, so far there is no indication of a wide difference between the swine flu virus still in outbreaks in some parts of the world and the one the vaccine was for in the 2009-2010 flu season. That said, just to be on the safe side, the 2010-2011 seasonal flu shot will contain the most current vaccine for swine flu, in addition to the vaccines for the other predicted types of flu, that we will most likely see in this season. So in this year's flu season, only a single flu shot will be needed for protection of seasonal flu strains as well as the swine flu strain.
If you are exposed to the Swine Flu can you still get it?
yes
Can kids die from Swine Flu?
Yes, and children are in one of the groups that have been hardest hit by the pandemic flu. But, that still is a relatively low number of deaths compared to those from the regular seasonal flu. See the related questions below for more information.
Does Swine Flu cause severe migraine headache?
Yes; it does. My wife typically gets minor migraine headaches during her period times. With swine-flu, we had to take her to ER by Ambulance as the pain is so severe. The pain was almost 10 times more than her normal migraine (she could not speak because of the pain and was crying and screaming). She was positive for type A flu and further testing revealed she was positive for swine flu. However they could not explain her severe headache and the high blood pressure. Thought it was meningitis and did LP; they also did CT scans, etc. and could not find anything. She went through several CT scans, MRIs, MRVs, several blood tests and cultures, but still they could not find the reason for her severe throbbing/pulsating headache. She was put on high doses of morphine and several medications. She was in the hospital for 10 days.
After you had the Swine Flu do you still have germs of the Swine Flu in you?
Yes, but they are slowly being killed off by your immune system if you are otherwise healthy.
