- can you get the swine flu from someone who is sick after being vaccinated?
- Q: i am the parent of a 5 month old boy, 6 months 1/10/10. after celebrating new years with another family of a year old girl who became sick after getting her first h1n1 shot in the two part series, my son now has flu like symptoms: terribly runny nose, phlem, coughs, more fussy than usual. i'm afraid that my son has caught the swine flu because i have heard that flu vaccinations are using dead flu viruses in the fluid the doctors inject. i know that sounds weird, being afraid of 'dead' viruses, but i thought there was no cure for viruses thus how is it dead? or not able to hurt its carrier?i'm a first time mom and i am up worried sick. any educational suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you...let me better explain:my son is NOT vaccinated; however the little girl is. she got her first shot last week and is now sickIN RESPONSE TO IGGY:First, you're a complete jerk. I hope you don't have children of your own, for if you do I am sure that they are afraid of you, and have poor self esteem. You probably are not; because if you were you would understand, having gone thru it, just how much you may nick pick at every little detail.Second, I am reading websites that are medically based such as the CDC's. I am also listening to my child's doctor. I am also listening to family and close friends who are great parents. I am however a human and may need an extra explanation to understand to feel comfortable. You're a complete asshole. What worried me, was when I asked my child's doctor about the flu or just getting sick in general, she said to me that he is too young to get the vaccine, hence why his age was placed in my questions, and that even so there would be nothing major I could other than try my best to calm him down--that she wouldn't be able to give him something for it.Jackass.I am not afraid to vaccinate my child, and will do so when he meets the age requirements, jerk. But I would like to be educated as well. Researching online helped to form my questions. What I mean by 'dead' viruses is explained at:http://living.health.com/2008/02/25/read-this-before-you-get-a-flu-shot/"any bad reactions, thought to be your immune system’s way of gearing up after the exposure to dead virus particles in the vaccine, typically ease after a few days. (Manufacturers are required to verify that each batch of vaccine used for injections contains no live flu viruses. But people with egg allergies shouldn’t get the shot because the vaccine is manufactured using eggs.)"You need to go back to school yourself, or better research your claims before you make them. You heard that the flu shot is from live viruses in small amounts? You're a cruel idiot, please don't reproduce, your offspring would deserve better than you.IN RESPONSE TO EVERYONE ELSE:Thank you for your helping and understanding. After speaking with my son's pediatrician, he is more than likely fine because he has no fever, and hasn't the whole time he hasn't been feeling well. However, on his 6 month check up not only will he be vaccinated (as planned since october) but she will give me her written articles in colds and flus.
- A: When a child is vaccinated with the H1N1 vaccine, armor plates will sprout around his body and nothing will ever hurt him again. hehe Seriously, he should be vaccinated against H1N1 asap when he turns 6 months old. Basically, the virus in the vaccine is killed (in the production process) and the dead virus serves to stimulate the human body to produce "antibodies" which provide protection against future H1N1 virus exposure (without the person actually being sick). The virus can be killed by heat, bleach, etc. but heat and bleach cannot be given to a sick person without injuring that person. You did the right thing by getting more info from your dr. BTW, the little girl probably did not have enough time to build up antibodies after getting the vaccine (2-3 weeks needed after the shot) and she probably caught the virus from someone else b4 the vaccine had time to work.
