Is the flu vaccine effective against all types of flu?
No. These viruses mutate rapidly and you can not get one vaccine for all of the subtypes.
Are you fully vaccinated after having one Swine Flu vaccination last year or do you need it annually?
One H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" vaccination was determined to be enough in the 2009 clinical trials of the brand new vaccine for the brand new virus. If you had the vaccination it will provide immunity for life to that particular virus. If the virus mutates into a strain that is much different from the one in the prior vaccine, then there may be a need for a new vaccine for the newly formed virus. So far, that has not happened. You need a seasonal flu shot annually because of the problem with the easy mutations of flu viruses. In the 2010-2011 flu season, the vaccine for the swine flu is included with the other vaccines in the seasonal flu vaccinations, so if you did not get the separate shot last year, this year you will get lifetime immunity from that exact type of flu in the "regular" flu vaccination. (It won't hurt and might help to get that vaccine again).
