The truth is that some people *do* seem to be a lot less susceptible to swine flu. People over 50 years of age appear to fall into this category, and it is thought that the fact that an H1N1 swine flu strain was in circulation prior to 1957 (the year the Asian Flu pandemic dropped swine flu off the map) might have something to do with that. Older people may have antibodies to the older strain of swine flu, and this may be protecting them to some degree.
But for the rest of us there is no such protection. Moreover, if you have children, they seem to be at particular risk from the new swine flu strain. The average age of hospitalized swine flu sufferers is somewhere in the mid teens.
If you are a parent, the good news in all of this is that your children will receive first priority when the vaccine becomes available. They will likely have the option of receiving 2 doses of the swine flu shot, the second administered about 3 weeks after the first to raise sufficient antibodies to fight off an infection.
The not so good news? Vaccine companies have found that they can grow only about one third as much swine flu as they can seasonal flu using the technology at hand. This means that swine flu vaccine will be in short supply for 2009, so the only people who will be able to get their hands on it will be those for whom swine flu represents a higher risk of serious complications.
Unless you are diabetic, suffer from high blood pressure, a heart condition, asthma, or another type of respiratory problem, you may have to forgo protection from a swine flu shot until some time in 2010.
To find out more about this issue, I strongly recommend getting a copy of the definitive title on this subject: “Survive Pandemic Flu: Understand and Protect Against Novel Strains Of Influenza”. You can find out more about the book on this page:

Unless you feel convinced that you are immune to swine flu, this is one book you will want to have read by the time the virus appears at your front door.

Preventing Swine Flu – Protecting Your Family FromThis Deadly Disease
Before the year 2009, it was very uncommon for people to contract swine influenza. to get the disease, it was necessary to have some kind of contact with pigs. But, in March of the current year, all that changed. It looked like individuals infected with swine flu had no contact with pigs. The disease had undergone a serious mutation and was being transmitted person to person.
Normally, after you have had a specific type of the flu, your body retains the antibodies to kill it in the future. This gives you an immunity to the illness. But the present type of swine influenza pathogen underwent a significant mutation. This mutation appears to be a totally new type of influenza. As a consequence, nobody is immune to the illness. And that’s why government officials are quite worried regarding the possibility of a worldwide swine flu pandemic and are concerned about preventing swine flu.
During an ordinary influenza season, the influenza pathogen is transmitted thru breathing droplets. These tiny droplets enter the atmosphere when an infected individual coughs, sneezes, or breathes on you. The illness also spreads after you bit your eyes, nose, or mouth with the virus on your hands.That’s why preventing the disease is so very difficult.
In March and April 2009, lots of cases of the illness were reported in Mexico that were suspected or confirmed to be due to swine influenza. By April, over 100 deaths were attributed to the disease in Mexico and cases began to be reported within the U. S. The 1st cases came from the states of California and Texas. Since that time, reports of the illness are rapidly turning up throughout the contry.
Reports of suspected disease are also being reported in Canada, New Zealand, Spain, and many other parts of the world. Because many cases of the disease are not revealed, there are undoubtedly more infections than have been reported. And due to the fast spread of the disease, governments worldwide are concerned concerning preventing swine flu.

- Tamiflu should be saved for special cases, CDC warns Currently, only two anti-virals are known to be effective against H1N1 pandemic swine flu: Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir). If not used sparingly, these too could become ineffective, the CDC has warned. Both drugs can be used to prevent viral infection under the right circumstances, though the protocol currently recommended......
