Taking the Mystery Out Of H1N1
staff36 says: What exactly is H1N1 and why does it have just a everyone so concerned? According to the Mayo Clinic, H1N1 flu -- popularly known as swine flu -- is a respiratory infection caused by an influenza virus first recognized in spring 2009. The H1N1 vaccine is indeed one way to avoid getting sick. However, if you can't get the vaccine or choose not to be vaccinated, there are several beneficial precautions you and your family can take.
Nice article that covers natural options to boost immunity to colds and flu as well as limit potential exposure to the virus. However, would echo some of the comments seen here that vaccination confers the best protection against the H1N1 virus. Be well.

11/18/2009 11:15:40 AM Report Abusethe h1n1 vaccine was manufactured the same as the "regular" flu vaccine.it has the same chemicals in it with the h1ni strain versus the "regular" strain.if your child has had the traditional flu vaccine and had no adverse reaction they should be fine to get the h1n1 vaccine.there are risks associated with all vaccines even the ones they receive the first months of their lives.decide what risk is higher, your child getting ill or the possiblity that they may have an adverse reaction to the meds
