can you get swine flu more than once?

ds2 had swine flu just as the schools broke up for summer holidays.now theres reports of suspected swine flu in the school again.can he get it again?hes 3(at the school nursery) and asthmatic.

I believe not.

jolly good.thanks!

I heard you can, and if you get it again then tamiflu is not effective

(only hearsay though)

If it mutates then yes possibly, but not the same one.

ooh.thanks.

I think part of the problem is because people are just assumed to have had it and there is no clinical confirmation they may just have had something else so unless you know for sure it was SF it's hard to say whether you can get it 'again' IYSWIM?

We were diagnosed twice with SF, then recently got something much worse and paid for private testing and that was swine flu. So either I've had it at least twice or the first two diagnoses were wrong.

thankyou.very true.
