The time for vaccination is prior to having the flu since the vaccine is intended to prevent the flu, not treat it. However, it is advisable to still get a vaccination even if you have had the flu since there are vaccines for multiple types of flu in the seasonal flu vaccinations to protect you against other types of flu.
You can take the flu vaccine while you have the flu as long as you don't have a fever at the time, however, you should wait until you are sure you are no longer contagious with the flu before you go out in public, even if only going for the vaccination. Otherwise, you can spread it to others in public. Once you have gone 24 hours straight without a fever (when taking no fever reducers), you are considered to be over the flu and no longer contagious.

What is a person with Swine Flu?
A person with swine flu is obviously... SICK!!! On the lighter side: An oinker? A piggly wiggly? A flu-er? A flu-ee? An Influenzum Porcineus Hominoidus Pinkii? Someone who wishes they had gotten vaccinated in time?
Can you have the Swine Flu vaccination if you have had an anaphylactic allergic reaction to penicillin?
There is no similarity between penicillin and the flu vaccine. See the related questions below for more information on who should not get vaccinated for the swine flu.
Does hunting help prevent flu in the area?
Likely only if you are hunting people who have the flu. Human influenza is caused by viruses passed from person to person, either directly or indirectly, from exposure to the viruses involved in the infection of the other person. There are some (more rare) flu viruses that can be passed from animals to humans, but they more typically infect domesticated animals that aren't subject to legal hunting. To prevent flu in an area, the safest and best plan is to have an annual seasonal flu vaccination to prevent infection that you could pass on to others who are not vaccinated or who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.

Does the flu kill babies?
Babies and young children are more likely than adults to die from the flu. Babies under 6 months old cannot be vaccinated, so it is recommended that everyone else in the family be vaccinated in order to protect the baby.
Why should you get yearly flu shots for protection?
It is the best way to prevent the flu and from giving it to others if you catch it because you aren't vaccinated. Each year the vaccine protects against three different flu viruses (in the 2013-2014 flu season some new formulations for the flu vaccination now protect against four types of the flu, two Type A and two Type B.) if you don't get the shot each year, you may not have any immunity to the type of flu that is expected to be circulating in the flu season. The flu vaccines are proven safe and effective over decades of use.Scientists have announced in late 2013 that they are making quick progress on a "universal flu vaccine" which will be able to fend off any type of flu. They predict it will be available for use within the next five years. This might make yearly flu vaccination a thing of the past (although boosters may be required at some intervals but all that is still under research and development.See the related question below about who should not have a flu shot and if you don't have one of those reasons to not be vaccinated, then you should get the annual vaccination.If you are allergic to eggs, you should talk to your allergist to find out if you can get vaccinated for the flu. In the past an allergy to chicken eggs was a contradiction for receiving a flu vaccination, because the virus culture used to make the vaccine is grown in chicken eggs to produce enough to make the vaccines. Recent studies indicate that those with egg allergies might still be able to be vaccinated if the proper protocol is followed for the administration and observation afterward.See the related questions below for more on this topic.

Can you get the flu even if you have had the flu vaccination?
Yes. The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on two things: 1) the age and health status of the person getting vaccinated, and 2) the similarity or "match" between the virus strains in the vaccine and those circulating in the community.Vaccinations are not 100% effective for every person. Vaccinations for the flu are usually around 80% effective, but some years they are better matched to the viruses in the environment and then are more effective. Each individual's response to the vaccine will vary. The elderly tend to not have the same effects as younger and healthier people do, they have a less robust immune response and less protection than those without other diseases and disorders.For more reasons why you might get the flu even though you were vaccinated, the question in the related question section gives more detail.
Is it possible to get H1N1 more than once?
yes and no because if you had the swine flu once and you get vaccinated you propelywont get it again.
How to Avoid a Contagious Disease?
Each year, parents worry about how to keep their children from catching a cold or the flu. Pediatricians recommend that parents get their children vaccinated against the flu every fall. The flu vaccination can protect a child from several types of common flu each year. Children should be taught to wash their hands often throughout the day and to avoid sharing eating utensils and drinking glasses. They should also cough and sneeze into a tissue.
What best describes the maximum antibody level of a person's body after a flu vaccination?
The maximum antibody level after a flu vaccination varies among individuals. Generally, it peaks within a few weeks of vaccination and then gradually decreases over time. It is essential to get vaccinated annually to ensure adequate protection against seasonal flu strains.
