Do you think that since we administer so many vaccines to people (with different types of immunities), we may have created a super resistant flu strain or swine flu?

We are getting the flu shot soon at my place of work. So I was wondering if I need to set up a seperate flu shot to prevent the swine flu strain.

If you can please leave a link to validate your answers…Thanks for any and all responses!

As many as 149 deaths have occured from this recent 2009 swine flu outbreak in Mexico. Only Mexico has faced deaths from this recent outbreak.All other global cases are mild and non-fatal although still cautionary. Different strains of the virus? Poor health and unsanitary conditions in Mexico?

The 2010 flu vaccine will be including protection against three strains of flu, including the H1N1 virus according to a recommendation from the WHO.

After meeting for four days the experts have decided that the drugmakers can use the massive stockpile of H1N1 vaccine that they still hold as part of the mix for this year’s seasonal flu.
There was a fairly substantial over supply of the vaccine as many countries cut back on orders as people were not getting the injection.
According to Keiji Fukuda, WHO’s expert in H1N1, “The inclusion of the H1N1 pandemic virus in the influenza vaccine does not signal that the pandemic is over. This virus is expected to be a significant threat to people as we go into the fall and winter period.”

WHO is meeting again on February 23 to evaluate the current H1N1 conditions, but they still feel that the H1N1 virus will continue to be a threat all through the 2010-11 flu season. Still those with the greatest risk are those with any type of a chronic medical condition, women who are pregnant, and the elderly.
