No. The influenza vaccine is only for preventing respiratory influenza (flu).
The norovirus ("Norwalk Flu") is one of the viruses that cause the "stomach flu", more correctly called viral gastroenteritis, since it is actually not the flu. There is no available vaccine yet, but one is in clinical trials, so it could be licensed for use in the US in a relatively short time.
It could be many things, even pneumonia, so the symptoms should not be ignored, especially if the fever gets more intense, contact your medical professional for proper diagnosis in your case. But commonly it would be what is called the Norwalk Flu, "stomach flu" or gastroenteritis. Calling it a "flu" is a misnomer since "flu stands" for influenza and that is a disease of the respiratory tract only.
The "Norwalk Flu" and "Stomach flu" are just common names given to viral gastroenteritis or similar intestinal/bowel infections. These are usually caused by a norovirus (hence the nickname "Norwalk Flu").
Another illness with similar symptoms you describe is the seasonal influenza or swine flu that can sometimes cause diarrhea along with the respiratory symptoms but that is not typical of the influenza viruses.
Stomach flu is caused by bacteria, viruses and certain parasites. The bacteria, viruses and parasites can be found in soil, wild and pet animals including birds, and humans. The stomach flu occurs when the germs enter the stomach. Germs that cause the stomach flu usually enter the stomach by mouth Stomach flu is caused by bacteria, viruses and certain parasites.

It starts with the winter solstice around Dec. 21 in the northern hemisphere, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it is june 21. It ends with the spring equinox. That is around March 21 in the northern hemisphere, and September 21 in the southern hemisphere.
They called it Swine Flu at first because laboratory testing showed that the first form of this virus was originally the same or similar to a viral influenza disease of North American pigs that was not zoonotic (did not move from other animal species to people). It was also a Type A H1N1 virus. But further study has shown that this new pandemic virus is very different from what normally circulated in North American pigs. It contains genetic material from more than one type of swine influenza (European, Asian, and North American), and also genetic material from Avian (bird) flu, and human influenza. That makes it a new kind of flu that people have not had exposure to prior to this, so the potential was for a pandemic (which is what has happened).
The proper name is influenza Type A-H1N1/09. See the related question below for more specific scientific names and other names this virus is called around the world today.
They changed the name because people wouldn't eat pork meat because they thought they were going to catch the disease by eating it and the pork producers didn't want this stigma placed on their product and it made it confusing and hard to differentiate from the prior types of "swine flu" when talking or writing about it. You can not get the pandemic A-H1N1/09 swine flu or other influenza types from eating pork. The influenza viruses are killed by normal cooking temperatures of 167-212°F (75-100°C).
There really isn't a solid consensus on this answer. Part of the reason is likely because infection with the flu makes you have hot and cold chills, so you spend part of your day tensed up, shivering and huddled into a ball trying to warm yourself up. Being tensed up like that for extended periods of time makes your muscles hurt because they haven't worked like that in a long time, if ever. Another part of the reason is the cytokine and interleukin proteins that are released - they are part of the inflammatory response that helps your body clear the infection but also makes your body feel feverish and achy.
Perhaps. There are some studies that suggest that an otherwise healthy adult is typically not infected at the same time by more than one virus. The mechanism is not clear and it is not an impossibility, but the likelihood of a second concurrent viral infection in healthy adults seems to be reduced with some infections and some people.
If you have the stomach flu just ride it out, there's nothing you can do. Fast for the first day or 2 and then start with water, tea and toast. If this is not the flu you need to see a doctor.
It is commonly called the "stomach flu", however, it is not really the flu at all. It is a viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by a type of viruses called noroviruses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that "noroviruses account for more than 96% of all viral gastroenteritis cases, with at least 23 million infections occurring annually in the United States." It causes approximately 50% of the viral intestinal disease world wide.
Warm or Cold,I guess living in a warmer climate is actually more helpful as people get out more and do things much more than what they do in cold climates and,therefore speaking of diseases,you will not get much infected and not stay ill most of the time wherein,in cold weathers,you easily get normal fever or flu and cough,sneezing.moreover,speaking of Business and much,i think business profits and advertisements are much shown on summer climate while in cold climate,most people get sick and work from home so,it's a loss somewhere in working from home even if it's less.
In normal circumstances, nutrients and water are absorbed from food in the intestine. If you are suffering from diarrhea, the body cannot absorb water and nutrients. These important nutrients include electrolytes like sodium (table salt) and potassium which are critical to proper muscle and nervous system function. Sufferers, particularly young children, can become dehydrated and have depleted electrolytes quite quickly after onset of diarrhea. Consuming saline water can help replenish the sodium lost (not absorbed) during diarrhea. Better yet, the worldwide primary treatment for diarrhea is oral rehydration therapy which includes glucose, potassium, chloride, and citrate in addition to sodium -- replenishing critical electrolytes.
There are 2 sides of surgical mask and the white color side contains filter. The corrective ways of use are: If we have flu/infection, the white side should attach to our face (the color side faces out) to filter the micro-organism not to spread them out to others If we are not ill, the white side should face out to protect micro-organism from environment to come to contact with us

I think it is where the flu changes and mutates .......notation
Yes, it's possible but it could also be some other problem and you should contact your doctor if it persists.
