If you already had the vaccine in the 2009-2010 season, it will not harm you and might help you to get it again along with the vaccines for the other flu viruses expected in this flu season.

The only medical treatments available are used to relieve the symptoms of flu, NOT to cure the disease - you cannot cure flu.

Two. In the 2010-2011 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, the vaccine for the H1N1/09 virus is available included in the regular seasonal flu vaccination. There are two types of these vaccines, one for injection and one for nasal spray administration. There is no need for a separate swine flu shot this year like in the pandemic of 2009.

No. There are vaccines for swine flu, but they do not cure it. They prevent it before you get sick from it because the vaccines will make you immune. Once you have it, there is no cure. There are medicines that can make you feel better and there are medicines that will make the symptoms less harsh and the duration shorter, but no cures yet. Get the vaccination if you have not yet when the next flu season is about to start in the fall (in the US).

You can get seasonal flu shots from a Pharmacist at a drug store without a physician's prescription in the US. The vaccine is not available in quantity to individuals over the counter. There is no vaccine yet for the 2009 Swine Flu (Influenza A, Novel H1N1) available. The drug manufacturers who usually make vaccines now have some of the virus sent to them by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and have begun the process of developing vaccines for this strain of the virus. They anticipate having this available for use in the US by the next seasonal flu season. It may also be available for use in the Southern Hemisphere during their flu season this summer. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) will be working with the manufacturers to approve the safety and efficacy of the vaccines once developed and put into human trials.
