Is it H1N1 or the H1N1?

It is a flu (influenza) virus. All flus are caused by viruses. A virus is categorized by type such as Influenza Virus Type A, Type B or Type C. Viruses are always changing and mutating, and flu viruses are especially quick in their ability to mutate. When a mutation occurs, they are categorized further as subtypes and then to a finder degree as strains. H1N1 is a subtype of Influenzavirus A. The pandemic swine flu is further identified as A-H1N1/09 indicating the specific mutation of A-H1N1 into the type that caused the pandemic of 2009. Beyond that, the individual strains are broken down and named usually according to the year they were isolated and the location where they were first found. See the related question below for more information on how viruses are named.

Why is flu called flu?

The scientific names for the virus strains that cause the flu are derived from the proteins on the virus capsid (coat), and usually some indication of the location from which the virus strain was first obtained or a type of known virus to which the new strain is similar, e.g., "Perth-like".In the naming convention of viruses, the protein classifications become part of the name as in H1N1; H for the haemagglutinin and N for the neuraminidase. There are different subtypes of viruses using the H and N nomenclature, for example the H5N1 subtype is the Avian (Bird) Flu and H1N1 subtype is the Swine flu.The common names usually are based upon where the virus was first discovered, e.g., The Hong Kong Flu, Fujian Flu, etc. or in what animal the virus is endemic, e.g., Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Horse Flu, etc.See the related question for more information on the naming of flu viruses.

Does the flu shot protect from H1N1?

In a way. Originally we needed to take a separate vaccination for the swine flu. Beginning in the 2010 - 2011 flu season, the regular seasonal flu vaccine was adjusted to include the vaccine for the swine flu. So now you can be protected from swine flu by taking the regular seasonal flu shot in the US.
