Is it healthy to receive both types of flu shots ?

Is it safe/healthy to get the H1N1 flu hot as well ?

How long should I wait between flu shots ?

    I have had the normal flu interjection 4 weeks ago and the Swine Flu injection a few days ago with no side affects.

    My arm was sore for a few day and I felt a little tired but that was all.

    Go for it as your health is important

    It's not only healthy, but advised by most doctors too. Please wait about 2 weeks in between vaccines so your body has a chance to build up antibodies against the annual flu, then relax a bit and get the H1N1 shot as well. Then you'll be perfectly protected against both strains. Your only problem would be if a different strain came araound and you caught and came down with it. This happened one year when everyone got vaccinated and then the asian flu strain hit instead of the one they made the vaccine against. I'm not sure what year it was, but I only remember hearing about this happening once. Good luck and God Bless

    thankfully, as with maximum media-hyped fears, the swine flu “pandemic” would be short lived. interior the intervening time, investors could have their hands finished choosing the speculative winners from the losers. as much as now, the shares making an investment are figuring out to purchase and advertising the main are no longer any great ask your self. in basic terms as they do every time the be conscious flu creeps right into a headline, shares of Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) are hovering right this moment. investors fortunate sufficient to be protecting shares final week, at the instant are sitting on shares nicely worth a hundred and fifty% greater beneficial than they have been figuring out to purchase and advertising for on Friday. thoughts investors are making plans for retirement as their positions leap multifold. yet even after this morning’s surge, shares ought to greater beneficial than triple in value to attain the peak ranges of the chook-flu scare in 2006. you could view that as greater upside potential, or verify out it the way I do and understand the features is definitely no longer long-lived.

    Yes. My doctor recommends both however it's entirely up to you based on your situation. I am in the high risk category as my daughter is under 6 months.
