Is swine flu shot helpful?
Yes. Vaccination is the best protection we have against flu. Seasonal flu vaccine is available now and initial doses of 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine also are available, with additional doses available later this year.

About Swine Flu
The H1N1 viral strain implicated in the 2009 flu pandemic among humans often is called "swine flu" because initial testing showed many of the genes in the virus were similar to influenza viruses normally occurring in North American swine. According to the Centers for Disease Control in humans the symptoms of the 2009 "swine flu" H1N1 virus are similar to those of flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and tiredness.
About H1N1
The H1N1 virus (swine flu) is a flu virus strain that has caused a worldwide pandemic from June 2009 to August 2010.
About Flu
Influenza is common in the United States and around the world. In recent years, due to international travel, flu has become pandemic. It's a good idea to get a flu shot if you are in a high-risk group, which includes children and the elderly, among others.
