If you have come into contact with someone with Swine Flu and your are starting to shwo symtomns then I suggest you quarantine yourself and try not to mix with anyone for a week. Stay at home, drink plenty of fluids and enjoy the time off! It wont kill you! it is the same as any other flu virus really
What else can I help you with?
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.
Do Swine Flu come from anywhere elss?
Swine flu is contagious from one human to another
Did one of the Backstreet Boys get the Swine Flu?
Yes, Brian Littrel got swine flu.
How do Muslims feel about pig starting Swine Flu?
H1N1 is the version we have now and although they thought so in the beginning, hence the name swine flu, they now know it did not come from pigs. Their swine flu is not the same as this one. So Muslims should have no problem with it nor should Jews or vegetarians.
If one has contracted Swine Flu are they more likely to die than if they had contracted normal seasonal flu?
swine flu is not as bad as normal flu
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.
Can animals be cured of Swine Flu?
Most animals are able to fight it off like most people are. There is a vaccine for pigs for one type of swine flu but it is not the same as the pandemic swine flu vaccine.
Does the current Novel H1N1 Swine Flu contain elements of avian flu?
Yes. It does contain genetic material of Avian Flu in addition to three types of swine flu and also human flu viruses. (Avian flu is also called "Bird Flu"). When a virus mutates like this one did in pigs with five different genomes in the virus, it is called a quintuple reassortant (also known as reassortment) virus.The three types of swine flu genetic material in the A-H1N1/09 pandemic flu are American swine flu, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu.
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.
Can you get the Swine Flu if no one in your state has it?
It is not nessary but it posible.
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.
What is one type of recent catastrophe?
a sickness like H1N1 flu or swine flu
