That depends on a number of variables. Age, type of flu vaccine used, administration route (there are both intramuscular ~ IM, and a new intradermal ~ ID vaccine for the 2011-2012 flu season in the US), etc. which will alter the dosage.

So in that sense, at least currently, the swine flu vaccination is effective against the regular flu since vaccines for each type are put together in one vaccination.
