H1N1 vaccination: Can I get one if I'm coming down from a cold?

Yes. The H1N1 virus can mutate (change). If you become infected with the swine flu virus, your body produces antibodies against it, which will recognise and fight off the virus if the body ever meets it again.

However, if the virus mutates, your immune system may not recognise this different strain and you may become ill again, although you may have some protection from having had a similar virus previously. So, you should take the H1N1 vaccine (according to the SET priority policy). The swine flu (h1n1) vaccine is tottaly safe except a very fey side effect.Pl also read the following repot: Netherlands reports mutant swine flu (h1n1) death (December 3, 2009) : Dutch authorities said Thursday a patient infected by a mutant strain of the swine flu virus had died.

There had been a "minor change in the virus to make it resistant to Tamiflu. " It is the fifth fatal case of mutated A (H1N1) flu in Europe, after two in France and two in Norway. The World Health Organisation said last month that mutations had been observed in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, where the swine flu pandemic began, Ukraine, and the United States, as early as April.

The WHO also underlined that there was no evidence of more infections or more deaths as a result, while the mutated virus detected up to that point remained sensitive to antiviral drugs used to treat severe flu, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).

There is no contraindications to having immunisation vaccinations particular to thyroid - fluvax precautions are those with everyone. Illness is only contraindicated if temps are over 38 degrees celsius - not normal colds. I work in a prison and gave over 85 fluvax's in one day.

I also gave over 40 pneumovax.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
