H1N1

 The common Swine Flu symptoms include:

  • Fever – particularly a fever of over 100 degrees
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Chills and fatigue
  • Body aches
  • Headache
  • Occasionally, vomiting and diarrhea

 How does the H1N1 vaccine work?

Vaccines contain an antigen which is made of inactivated pieces of the virus. It allows your immune system to recognize a virus, and produce antibodies designed to fight it.

The pandemic H1N1 virus is a new virus — humans have no natural immunity against it. Getting vaccinated allows your body to recognize and fight the virus.

Within approximately two weeks of vaccination, your immune system will have produced antibodies against H1N1. If the virus enters your body, those antibodies will attack it so that you stay healthy.
