Wondering if the regular flu shot will help minimize swine flu symptoms?
As there are many questions arising about the swine flu, the regular flu and all of the vaccinations, a lot of us have been curious about something. Has anyone out there who HAD the swine flu or currently has the swine flu received a regular influenza vaccine prior to getting sick with the H1N1 virus? Thank you for your input. It is greatly appreciated.

no the regular flu shot will not help against the swine flu there are many different types of the flu an you need to get the swine flu shot to help aginst that.

What's more interesting is that what you're asking can't be determined from what information you're looking for. What do I mean:
You want input from someone who has gotten the seasonal flu shot and has also tested positive for infection with the H1N1 flu strain. What do you expect someone to say from this subgroup that would indicate the seasonal flu shot provides protection from H1N1?
Do you not realize that to confirm a positive benefit, someone would have to say, "Yes, I got the seasonal flu shot and tested positive for H1N1 but never got symptomatic" in order to say there is some kind of protection from H1N1 when you get the seasonal flu shot. Highly unlikely anyone would even be tested if not symptomatic. The only answers you'll get are from people who got only the seasonal flu shot and then got symptomatic and tested positive for the H1N1, which would then tell you the seasonal flu shot provides no protection from H1N1.
