At the time electron microscopes didn't exist so most Doctors and scientists thought the 1918 "Spanish" H1N1 flu was a bacteria. This was due to finding the lungs of victims in autopsies full of bacteria which they had the technology to isolate.
In 2005 scientists isolated the H1N1 Influenza A of the 1918-1919 pandemic. So they could manufacture a vaccine based on that virus-I'm not aware if this has been done.

Each flu vaccine is targeted to specific varieties of the flu virus. Unless another type of flu is very similar to the targeted virus, it will not be prevented with that vaccine. Having said that, since the 2010-2011 flu season through to the current 2011-2012 season, the "regular" seasonal flu vaccine, which always contains three types of flu vaccine (trivalent), has included the swine flu along with the other two varieties to which the vaccine was targeted. So in that sense, at least currently, the swine flu vaccination is effective against the regular flu since vaccines for each type are put together in one vaccination.
