Swine Flu Answers

Flu vaccinations do not protect you from getting the flu.  When you catch the flu, vaccinations should, and in most cases, reduce the severity of the flu.  When you are injected with the virus, your body builds its own immunity to that virus.  H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine is no different.

Virus strains can become resistant to antiviral drugs – similar to other diseases.  The H1N1 Swine flu virus strain is resistant to older antiviral drugs, such as amantadine and rimantadine.  Health officials tell us that Tamiflu (oseltamivir) works well against the H1N1 Swine flu virus.  Tamiflu and Relenza (zanamivir) are two effective vaccines for the H1N1 Swine flu.  But, you have to take the vaccine before you contract the flu.  The big unknown is how long these antiviral vaccines will remain effective in your system.
