Should you get the H1N1 swine flu vaccine?

The Food and Drug Administration just approved several versions of a vaccine against the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as swine flu virus. Influenza activity much of it H1N1, has been increasing the past few weeks in the US, so this is welcome news for all of us: individuals now have an option for protection from an unpleasant illness, health care providers have a new treatment to offer their patients, and anti-vaccine wingnuts finally have some fresh material. Here’s some answers to common questions about the H1N1 vaccine.

What is the H1N1 flu vaccine and is it different from the seasonal flu vaccine?

The H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine are two separate vaccines against different viruses. Health care professionals recommend that certain people get both vaccines.

The H1N1 vaccine protects only against the new H1N1 influenza virus, which is the cause of swine flu. It does not protect against other strains of seasonal flu. The seasonal flu shot, which is offered every year, provides protection against an additional three common influenza viruses. Both vaccines are expected to reduce illness, limit hospitalizations, and potentially save lives.
