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.

There is a drug called Tamiflu that is an anti-viral drug that is used to help your immune system fight the flu. Flu vaccinations prevent the flu but they do not fight the flu if you already have it. The vaccines can be administered either by injection as a flu shot or can be given by intra-nasal route with a nasal spray preparation.


Does the new vaccine for swine flu prevent swine flu or help stop it?

Vaccines prevent those who have received them from getting sick from the flu that was in the vaccine. Vaccines aren't helpful if you already have or have had the same flu, but they don't hurt then either. Unless you are absolutely sure from laboratory testing that you have or had this A-H1N1/09 pandemic flu, you should go ahead and take the vaccination just in case the type you caught was caused by a different type of virus.To help stop or shorten the time you are sick with the flu after you already have it, the antiviral medicines like Relenza and Tamiflu do that job.
