The Common Cold (Rhinovirus) is different for each person, there is no vaccination becasue there are either to little to no cross protection between at leaset 99 serotypes. Though from what I understand a vacine is being deleloped but it's a slow process As for the flu it's a more deadly virus that changes frequently and so having the vaccination protects you mroe aginst it .

How do you know if you have had Swine Flu?

Unless you were tested when you were ill, there is really no way to know for sure which type of flu you may have had. If you were not tested at the time, to be sure you have immunity to the swine flu, it is advised that you get a vaccination. It will not hurt you if you already had the same flu, and it can prevent another illness if the flu you had was a different strain.
