∙ 11y agoAfter a mild illness with a minor infection, once you have been fever-free for a full 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicines, it would be okay for most healthy adults to be in public and to get their vaccination. If it has been a more serious infection or if you still have fever, then you should contact the doctor treating the infection to get advice on when you will be ready for immunizations. The clinician who is giving your vaccination will ask (if not, tell them) about recent illness before the vaccine is given, and can also advise you if you still have any symptoms even if the fever is gone.

If you get a swine flu shot will the swine flu disappear in a week?
The swine flu shot is used to prevent the flu, not to treat the flu if you already have it. To treat the flu, antiviral medications are more likely to be prescribed, such as Tamiflu.
Is the Swine Flu shot really a shot?
They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
Is the swine flu vaccine the same thing as the swine flu shot?
Yes, they are the same thing.
Does the swine flu shot help you?
Yes, it's a vaccination that helps you prevent the swine flu infection.
Should you get a Swine Flu vaccination if you got a seasonal flu shot?
Last flu season, 2009-2010, you needed two shots. But this year the seasonal flu shot also protects against swine flu, so, in the US, you only need one flu shot for the 2010-2011 flu season.
Is it necessary to get the Swine Flu shot every year?
That will only be needed if a new mutation of the swine flu occurs that the current swine flu vaccine isn't able to prevent. In the 2009-2010 flu season in the US two shots were need, the regular seasonal flu shot and the H1N1/09 Swine flu shot. But in the current 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the seasonal flu vaccination contains the vaccine for swine flu in addition to the other varieties of flu that are expected to be circulating. So only one shot is needed this year for protection in the flu season.
Is Swine Flu in Indiana?
It really doesn't matter as long as you have the shot.
If you have just received the seasonal flu shot and then exposed to Swine Flu are you more compromised to contract the virus?
I don't know what your trying to say but i heard in the news that if you receive the seasonal flu shot,your more likely to get the swine flu.
How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?
"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
Are the flu and Swine Flu the same?
No, Swine Flu is just one strain of the many flu viruses. Flu is an abbreviation for influenza. So Swine Flu is a type of flu, but all flu is not the swine flu, there are other kinds.
