The H1N1 strain is not going to escape the vaccine this season. It
might drift sufficiently next year so that another vaccine is needed;
but the seasonal flu strains (which is what the N1N1 strain will soon
become) change every few years anyway. There is ZERO evidence that the
1918 influenza virus mutated to a more lethal form with subsequent
waves of infection. This is a hypothesis for which there is not
evidence. So is the cytokine storm pathogenesis of severe influenza
disease an hypothesis. The vaccine is protective and safe and should
be the main means of preventing infection.

my concern is.. lets assume they get their vaccine, that protect them from this “swine” flu, but the flu mutates, their antigenic sin would not recognize the new strain and thats why it coud not protect them against it..the same as if you get seasonal flu shot, it wud not help u much against the swine flu..am I right? and if the flu mutates to even more similar flu as the one in 1918, which caused pheumonie mostly by young healthy adults, on wiki they said, their healthy imune system was a liability, as the cytokine storm hits them..so small childrena and elderly was not as afected..so if I boost them with adjuvant, their imunte system becomes stronger, right? Its all too much at the moment, as I read reports from ukraine.. the swine flu suppose to be mild, most of the time, the same as seasonal flu, more fever and coughing, but otherwise the same. though they vaccinate as mad.. and we dont know, there is no time for all the necessery testing..there is new vacine padenza from france, which should not be as bad, as they say, no adjuvants, tested etc..
whats other people opinion?
