Having TB or any lung disease makes you at higher risk of catching and having complications from Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Flu).People with underlying medical problems, and especially those involving the lungs, are strongly encouraged to get the swine flu vaccine when it is available. You will likely be on the priority list to be able to receive the vaccine among the first groups to get the flu shots. Watch your local news programs, talk to your pulmonologist or attending doctor, and stay alert for news releases about the vaccination program in your location.

∙ 11y agoThe traditional formulation for flu vaccine injections are intended to be given intramuscularly (IM) and a TB needle would not be long enough to reach the muscle tissue, therefore the answer is no. There is a new vaccine now approved in the US that uses a special needle that is very short, since that formulation of the vaccine is supposed to go in between the layers of the skin. It can not be given with a TB needle, either, however, because it comes already loaded in a special vaccine delivery syringe.

∙ 12y agoNo. The flu shots contain a vaccine made with the virus that causes the flu or particles of that virus. TB is caused by a specific kind of bacteria and would not be included in the vaccines for flu shots. There are preservatives used in making vaccines to prevent other pathogens from growing in them, so it is not possible to get TB from a flu vaccination.
